- Gently fold in 1 cup mixed berries, reserving a few for topping.
- Divide the mixture evenly into two mason jars or airtight containers, leaving room at the top.

Notes
If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk. If too runny, add a spoonful of yogurt. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Chia seeds help thicken the mixture. Seal jars tightly to avoid fridge odors. Can add nuts or flaxseed for extra texture and nutrition. Can swap berries for seasonal fruits like peaches or mangoes. For vegan version, use plant-based milk and dairy-free yogurt.
