1 tbsp chia seeds
•
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of cinnamon

vanilla, and cinnamon to a mason jar or container with a lid.

Stir everything together really well.

Why this works for diabetics
Rolled oats have a lower
glycemic index than instant oats. The Greek yogurt and chia seeds add protein
and healthy fat, which slow down the digestion of the oats and help keep blood
sugar steady. Berries are the best fruit topping choice — they're low-sugar and
packed with antioxidants.
