01 - In a jar or bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, pistachios, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Stir until well mixed.
02 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Breakfast literally makes itself while you sleep
  • The pistachios add this incredible buttery crunch that transforms plain oats into something special
02 -
  • The first time I forgot to stir before refrigerating, all the chia seeds formed a solid gel layer on top, so mix thoroughly
  • These actually taste better on day two, so making multiple jars at once is genuinely smart meal prep
03 -
  • Toast your pistachios in a dry pan for 2 minutes before adding them, the flavor difference is worth the extra step
  • If your oats seem too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen them up
