Ingredients
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and add more honey if desired for sweetness.
- Add Berries: Gently fold in the mixed berries, reserving some for topping if preferred.
