# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 1/2 cup rolled oats
02 - 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
03 - 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
04 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Nuts

07 - 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, chopped

→ Toppings (optional)

08 - Additional chopped pistachios
09 - Fresh fruit or berries

# Directions:

01 - In a jar or bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, pistachios, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Stir until well mixed.
02 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld.
03 - In the morning, stir the oats thoroughly. Top with extra chopped pistachios and fresh fruit or berries if desired. Enjoy cold, or warm gently in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if preferred.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Five minutes of evening effort buys you a luxurious breakfast that feels like a treat
  • The combination of creamy yogurt and nutty pistachios somehow manages to taste both indulgent and wholesome
02 -
  • Mason jars look cute on Instagram but any container with a tight lid will work perfectly fine
  • The texture will seem too loose when you first mix it, which is exactly how it should look before refrigerating
03 -
  • Toast your pistachios in a dry pan for 2 minutes before chopping—deepens the flavor dramatically
  • If your oats seem too thick in the morning, stir in a splash more milk until you reach your preferred consistency
