Toasted oats add crunch and are typically more economical.

Measure out 2.5 cups of almond milk and pour it into a bowl.

Add 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt to the almond milk.

Stir in 3 teaspoons of vanilla extract.

Add 3/4 cup of chia seeds and mix until everything is combined.

Portion the mixture into glasses, filling them about 3/4 of the way up.

Place the glasses in a jumbo muffin tin for easy transport to the refrigerator.

Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

In a medium bowl, add 2 egg whites, 2 teaspoons of honey, and 2 teaspoons of brown sugar.

Add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon of fresh orange zest; whisk until combined.

Stir in 2 cups of old fashion oats and mix well.

Add 1/3 cup of pecans, 1/3 cup of unsalted cashews, 1/3 cup of dried cranberries, and 1/3 cup of unsweetened coconut; mix until everything is coated.

Transfer the mixture onto a rimmed lined cookie sheet and spread it out in a single layer.

Bake in a 375 degree Fahrenheit oven for 12 to 13 minutes until golden brown.

Allow the granola to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.

Slice off either end of an orange to create a flat surface.

Stand the orange upright and slice off the rind, removing the white pith.

Slice between the membranes to release the orange segments, keeping them in a bowl with their juice.

When ready to serve, sprinkle granola on top of the chia pudding and add 2 or 3 orange segments.
