Cinnamon-Spiced Overnight Oats

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
• 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (optional for added creaminess)
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (boosts metabolism, regulates blood sugar, and supports heart health)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds (for fiber and omega-3s)
• 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional for natural sweetness)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 1/4 cup fresh berries (or any fruit you like, for added antioxidants)
• A sprinkle of chopped nuts or seeds (optional for crunch and heart health)

Instructions:

1. In a mason jar or bowl, combine the oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, cinnamon, honey (if using), and vanilla extract.
2. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
3. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to let the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
4. In the morning, give the mixture a stir. Add fresh berries and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds on top.
5. Enjoy cold or heat it up for a warm, cozy breakfast.
