I make this every morning now for me and my son. We treat it like a parfait and add diced mangoes, blueberries, bananas or strawberries to it for added sweetness. It fills us up during the day. Son makes a special request before every game and he feels energetic without having a heavy meal. Most used recipe yet!

We love this recipe! I'm not a huge fan of plain yogurt so this adds some yummy texture and my husband loves oatmeal so he has been making one of these nightly for his breakfast.

I am going to try this tonight. Someone said that it's thick, so It should be great for bringing to work and eating at my desk (no runny mess). I eat oatmeal every day anyway, but I usually have to cook it. This will save time and limit the dirty dishes/pans.

Great recipe! Have forwarded it to several friends. Used a store brand lite and fit, 90 calorie fruited yogurt, old fashioned oats and chi seeds. Really a great "stick to your ribs" breakfast. Often I have half for breakfast and half for lunch. Have had no difficulty with being too stiff but would no hesitate to add a couple tablespoons of soy milk or nonfat milk if needed.

I like this recipe a lot, I have used with strawberry yogurt and add fresh on top when i eat, I like to leave soak more than 8 hrs, the oats are better that way, and keeps me full for hours. And glad to know I dont have to soak the seeds
