Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, chia seeds, unsweetened shredded coconut, and salt.

2. Add the light coconut milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

3. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and the chia seeds are evenly distributed.

4. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then stir again to prevent clumping.

5. Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers.

6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.

7. Stir before serving and add a splash of coconut milk if you want a thinner consistency.

8. Top with fresh fruit and extra coconut flakes, then serve cold.

Notes

Use rolled oats for the best texture since quick oats can become too soft.

Stir the mixture twice before chilling so the chia seeds do not settle in one spot.

Add fresh toppings right before serving to keep everything bright and textured.
