Simple Overnight Oats

This recipe is very forgiving - use more or less oats or chia or milk, and whatever seeds/nuts/fruit you have to hand! Flavoured rice milks (think almond, hazel, vanilla or coconut) go very well in this, and keep in mind that any rice milk will add to the sweetness. Use gluten-free oats and milks if needed. This recipe serves 2, but you can halve it or double it as you see fit.
