Ingredients

• 100g berries

• 150g skyr
• 100ml milk
• 20g almonds
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 pinch of cinnamon

Method

You’ll need: chopping board · knife · mixing bowl

1. Stir the oats, skyr, milk and chia seeds together thoroughly in a jar or bowl until everything is evenly mixed.
2. Stir in the honey and cinnamon. Leave the mixture to stand briefly so the chia seeds start to absorb liquid.
3. Cover and put in the fridge for several hours to soak, ideally overnight.
4. The next morning, give the oats a stir. If the texture is too firm for you, stir in a little milk.
5. Wash the berries and cut them smaller if needed. Roughly chop the almonds.
6. To serve, spoon the berries over the oats and scatter over the almonds.
