Ingredients

1 cup         Certified Gluten-Free Rolled Oats

2 tbsp.      Chia Seeds

2 cups      Homemade or Clean Plant-Based Milk

1 tsp.        Clean Vanilla Extract

4 tbsp.     Pure Maple Syrup (or less)

1/2 cup    Fresh Fruit (chopped)

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl with a lid, combine all ingredients and whisk until well combined.  Let the mixture sit for 3-5 minutes and whisk again until thoroughly combined, and chia seeds are no longer clumpy. Place the covered bowl into the refrigerator and allow it to cool overnight.

Remove from the refrigerator and scoop portions into individual serving bowls and top with your favorite fresh fruit and microgreens.
