Method

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk the whey into the milk until there are no lumps.

  2. 2

    Stir in the oats, chia, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.

  3. 3

    Divide between two jars or tubs, seal and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours) so the oats and chia soften and thicken.

  4. 4

    In the morning, stir, loosen with a splash of milk if needed and top with the berries. Keeps for 3 days in the fridge.
