# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It takes literally ten minutes to assemble, then does all the work while you sleep.
  • No cooking required means your kitchen stays calm and you stay cool on busy mornings.
  • The texture is creamy and satisfying, nothing like the cardboard oatmeal you might remember from childhood.
02 -
  • Don't skip the chia seeds thinking they're optional—they're what creates that creamy texture without dairy, and they actually thicken everything as they absorb the liquid.
  • The swirl matters more than you think; keeping the almond butter slightly separate creates layers of flavor and texture that make each spoonful interesting.
03 -
  • Layer your swirl strategically—put half the almond butter on the bottom before adding half your mixture, then swirl the rest on top so you get pockets of it throughout rather than just concentrated at the bottom.
  • Keep your jars in the coldest part of your refrigerator to maximize freshness, and these stay delicious for up to five days if you can keep from eating them all in two.
