Directions:
Add the milk, oats, yogurt, chia seeds and mashed banana and spice blend to a jar or container and give them a good stir. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 5 hours.
In the morning, add additional liquid if you'd like. Once you achieve the desired consistency, top with fruit, nuts, nut butter, seeds, protein powder, granola, coconut or whatever you would like.
