Instructions

Assemble: Combine all ingredients in a mason jar or large glass. I like to do it in layers. First layer - 1/3 cup of quick oats. Next layer - 1/3 cup of Chia Seeds. Next layer - 1/3 cup of Vanilla Almond Milk. Next layer - 1/3 Cup of Plain Greek Yogurt. Next layer - 2 packets of Stevia or about one teaspoon. Next, a dash of Cinnamon. Final layer - 3/4 cup of berries. I used strawberries and blueberries but feel free to use your favorite.
Refrigerate: Cover your mason jar with the lid and refrigerate overnight. If you are using a glass just cover with a piece of Saran Wrap.
Serve: After 8 hours remove from the refrigerator give it a stir, garnish with some sliced almonds if you like and it is ready to eat. Enjoy!!

Notes

If you don't have fresh fruit you can use frozen store bought fruit, it is just as tasty!
Sliced Almonds, crushed walnuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are a great topping for some extra crunch on your easy overnight oats with yogurt recipe.
Flavored extracts like apple, peach and pear are great to add to a basic overnight oats recipe if you don't have a lot of spices.
For a protein boost try adding a scoop of the WW Vanilla Protein Booster.
Make sure you rinse out your mason jar with some hot water when you are finished eating to prevent it sticking to your jar and making clean up easy.
