- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions
- Prepare Jars: Prepare your jars or containers by cleaning and drying them, then make space in your fridge for storage.
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, stirring until well blended. Then fold in the rolled oats and chia seeds ensuring even distribution.
