Ingredients

2 1/2 cups rolled oats
5 tablespoons chia seeds
5 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
2 1/2 cups cottage cheese
2 1/2 cups milk I used unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

In five jars or bowls, add 1/2 cup of rolled oats and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, then mix well. Drizzle one tablespoon of maple syrup into each one.
Add 1/2 cup of cottage cheese to each, then 1/2 cup of milk. Give everything a good mix, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. The mixture will be a little thin, but it will thicken as it chills.
When ready to enjoy, remove the cover and give everything a good mix- the mixture will be very thick. If you want it thinner, add some milk, one tablespoon at a time. Add toppings and enjoy.

Notes

Meal prep: Overnight oats last up to one week.

Fresh fruit: Fold into the oats before refrigerating.

Frozen fruit/crunchy toppings: Add just before enjoying.
