Take 1/4 cup of large flaked oats and place them in each jar.

Add about 1/2 teaspoon of chia seeds to each jar for extra nutrition.

Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of ground flax seed to each jar.

Top with sliced strawberries or any fruit of your choice, such as blueberries or bananas.

Add Greek yogurt or regular low-fat yogurt to the jars, filling them to moisten the oats.

Pour dairy milk into the jars, filling them up to the rim.

Mix all ingredients in the jar with a spoon to ensure the oats soak up the liquid and the yogurt mixes well.

Place lids on the jars to prevent messes in the refrigerator.

Refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, or at least 4 hours if short on time.
