Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened plant-based yogurt (soy or coconut)
- 1/2 cup cooked rolled oats, cooled slightly

- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Notes
Cook the oats the night before and refrigerate for an even faster morning assembly. Swap almond butter for peanut or cashew butter, and use any seasonal fruit you have on hand. Store leftover components separately for up to 3 days, but assemble the bowl fresh for the best texture.
