- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
- Lemon Yogurt Preparation: In a jar or container, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Add the plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir everything together thoroughly until well-combined. Top the mixture with raspberries and lemon zest. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquids and flavors. Before serving, add a scoop of nut butter and garnish with fresh mint if desired. Stir and enjoy!
- Chocolate Preparation: In a jar or container, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, raw cacao powder, and cinnamon. Add unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Stir the ingredients well until fully combined. Top with raspberries. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld and oats soften. Before serving, add your preferred amount of nut butter, stir together, and enjoy the rich chocolate variation.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries according to availability and preference.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey for natural sweetness.
- Adjust the amount of nut butter to taste or omit for a nut-free option.
- Refrigerate overnight for creamier texture, but a minimum of 2 hours is sufficient.
- Chia seeds add thickness and extra fiber to the oats.
- For a dairy-free option, use plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt in the lemon version.
