This recipe is one that evolved over time to become what it is. You can play around with the ingredients to make it your own and change up the flavors, but keeping the balance of protein (from greek yogurt), smart carbs (from oats and berries), and healthy fats (from peanut butter and chia seeds) are what make it a great, well rounded healthy meal.

You've probably heard some buzz about chia seeds at some point. They are a great source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, but most people aren't sure how to incorporate them into their diet. This recipe is a perfect way to sneak them in! You could always use flax seeds as well, but it might change the texture a little. Also, keep in mind that chia seeds absorb liquid which is why you may need to add the almond milk or water will do as well. It will thicken over night as the oats and chia seeds soften and absorb, blending the flavors.
