About the Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

Use old-fashioned oats not instant for texture. You can substitute gluten-free oats if needed.

1 cup Greek yogurt

Choose plain unsweetened to control sugar. Any type works but Greek has more protein.

4 large eggs

Room temperature eggs mix better. Substitute tofu scramble for a vegan option.

1 medium banana

Ripe bananas add natural sweetness. Freeze them before using for thicker smoothies.

1 tablespoon chia seeds

Chia seeds thicken liquids quickly. Flaxseeds work as a substitute if you run out.

1/2 cup mixed berries

Fresh or frozen both work well. Blueberries hold up best in cooked dishes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare overnight oats

Mix oats, milk, chia seeds, and yogurt in a jar. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours until thickened.

2. Bake egg muffins

Whisk eggs with vegetables and pour into muffin tin. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until set.

3. Blend smoothie base

Add frozen fruit, spinach, and liquid to blender. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth.

4. Assemble chia pudding

Combine chia seeds with almond milk and honey. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes before refrigerating.

5. Toast bread and top

Toast bread until golden brown edges appear. Spread mashed avocado and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

6. Layer yogurt parfait

Place layers of yogurt, granola, and fruit in glass. Repeat layers until glass is full.
