Nut Butters
- 1-2 tablespoons unsweetened almond butter or peanut butter
Seeds
- 1 ½ teaspoons chia seeds

Sweeteners

Instructions
Preparation
- You’ll need a wide-mouth pint-sized mason jar or similar glass container with a secure fitting lid.
- In a separate container, mix your nut milk, natural sweetener and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- In your mason jar, layer the ingredients as follows: 3-4 slices of banana, 2 dollops of almond butter, ½ teaspoon chia seeds, ½ cup oats, then repeat two or three times until there is a 1-inch gap between the top of the ingredients and top of the mason jar.
- Pour your milk mixture over the oats leaving about ½ inch gap at the top to allow your oats to expand as they soak.
- Stick a knife or fork to the bottom of the jar a few times to help the milk soak to the bottom of the jar, if needed.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight, or at least 6-8 hours to let the oats absorb the almond milk.
