Morning Oats


Refrigerator Oats:

1/2 Cup Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup Rolled Oats
1 Tbsp Flax Seeds
1 Tbsp Chia Seeds 

(I used seeds from Bob's Red Mill)
Raisins
Coconut Milk (I used Vanilla So Delicious brand)

In 1/2 mason jar or any container that holds roughly 1 cup of contents, put in 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt.  Pour in your 1/4 cup of rolled oats on top, then a layer of flax seeds and Chia seeds.  Next layer your raisins on top, enough for roughly two row layers (helps sweeten the mixture a bit).  Then pour in your coconut milk till the jar line and screw on an airtight lid.  I use the regular mouth plastic lids by Ball.  Leave them to soak in the refrigerator overnight until the seeds plump and the oats "cook".  

It looks like the picture below in the morning.  Make sure you stir it well to have an even consistency.  You can sprinkle in some coconut, preserves, or additional dried fruit. 
Enjoy your healthy breakfast!
