Instructions
To each of four containers, add ¼ cup oats, 1 Tbsp chia seeds, 2 Tbsp sliced almonds, and a pinch of nutmeg.
On top of the dry ingredients, add ⅓ cup applesauce and ¼ cup blueberries to each container.
Stir the almond extract into the milk, then add ½ cup milk to each container. Stir the containers well to prevent the chia seeds from clumping. Place a lid on the containers and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 4 days.
When ready to eat, simply stir with a spoon and then enjoy!
* If you want to save a little, feel free to omit the chia seeds. I like the texture and fiber they add, but it's up to you. If you go this route, adjust the oats from ¼ cup to 1/3 cup.
