Chef's Note

For an extra protein boost, stir in 1/4 cup of your favorite protein powder to the mixture before refrigerating. You can also customize each jar with different toppings to suit individual preferences. The chai spice blend can be prepared in advance and stored in an airtight container for future use.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats

  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom

  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 2 teaspoons black tea leaves (loose or from 2 tea bags)

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 3 cups unsweetened almond milk

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

  • 1/2 cup chopped dates

  • 1 cup fresh berries

Instructions
  • 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 3 tablespoons chia seeds, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 2 teaspoons black tea leaves, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.

  • 2

    In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 3 cups unsweetened almond milk, and 1 cup Greek yogurt until smooth.

  • 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly combined.

  • 4

    Toast 1/2 cup sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant. Set aside to cool.

  • 5

    Divide the oatmeal mixture evenly among six 16-ounce mason jars or airtight containers.

  • 6

    Cover the jars and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to develop.

  • 7

    When ready to serve, top each jar with toasted almonds, chopped dates, fresh berries, and a drizzle of honey.

  • 8

    Serve cold, or if preferred, warm individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes before adding toppings.
