# How to Make:

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 tips:

01 -
  • Breakfast literally makes itself while you sleep
  • The pistachios add this buttery, salty crunch that feels indulgent but is actually good for you
02 -
  • Chia seeds keep absorbing liquid, so if you prep these days ahead, add a splash more milk before serving
  • The longer pistachios sit in the oats, the softer they get, so add fresh ones as topping for that crunch contrast
03 -
  • Toast your pistachios in a dry pan until fragrant, then let them cool before adding
  • Taste before refrigerating and adjust sweetness, because flavors mellow overnight
