Your list:

1 cup of oats
1 cup of vanilla almond milk (this is the best and most tasty of options)

1 tbs sugar free vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp of cinnamon
Flake, bran cereal is optional
So are fresh or frozen blueberries-again, if you're using plain greek yogurt then berries are recommended

What You'll Do:

Combine ingredients into a mason jar
