# Steps:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, combine oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until cocoa powder is fully dissolved and mixture is uniform.
02 - Divide the oat mixture evenly between two mason jars or airtight containers, ensuring each container receives an equal amount.
03 - Cover containers and refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 6 hours, allowing oats to soften and mixture to thicken to desired consistency.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats thoroughly. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
05 - Top with mini chocolate chips, banana slices, chopped nuts, and fresh berries as desired before serving.
