Notes
- Use almond milk or oat milk to make it dairy‑free or vegan (omit Greek yogurt or use dairy‑free yogurt).
- Boost protein by adding a scoop of protein powder or using protein‑rich yogurt.
- Prepare multiple jars at once for grab‑and‑go breakfasts during the week.
- Peanut butter can be swapped with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for variation.
- Oats will thicken over time; stir in extra milk before eating for desired creaminess.
