- 1 tsp chia seeds
- ½ cup milk (oat, soy, or nut-based milk)
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup (or honey)
Fruit

Instructions
- Prepare Blueberries: Add the blueberries to an 8-ounce glass Mason jar and microwave for 60 seconds until the blueberries start to burst, releasing their juices and enhancing their flavor.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the oats, chia seeds, milk, and sweetener to the jar with the blueberries. Stir thoroughly to ensure the oats are fully mixed with the liquid and other components.
- Refrigerate: Place the jar in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or ideally overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and flavors, resulting in a creamy texture.
- Serve: Enjoy the overnight oats straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh berries for extra freshness and texture.

- For a nuttier flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of chopped nuts or seeds before refrigerating.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making them ideal for meal prepping.
