• 1 T chia seeds

• 1⁄4 t cinnamon and/or 1⁄2 t vanilla (optional)

• Pinch kosher salt

• 1 c almond milk, or any milk

• Maple syrup, or honey, to taste (optional)

• 1⁄4 c mixed berries

Layer oats, protein powder, cherries, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt in a pint mason jar. Add almond milk, seal tightly and refrigerate overnight.

Uncover, stir, and add maple syrup if desired. Top with berries and almonds.
