• In a jar (i took a big one which serves two) add quaker oats along with a cup of low-fat milk or Almond milk and yogurt. Combine well with a spoon. To this, add chia seeds and again mix well to combine. Keep it in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours or preferably overnight. 
• The next day, transfer it to a bowl and add quarter a cup of low-fat milk, mix well. (it is optional only. I love a semi-thick consistency and so i prefer this way.) 
• To this, add cocoa powder and dates puree (soak 5 dates in warm water and squeeze it well with hands and pass it through a strainer to get the puree).  Again mix well. Here dates puree is used for the sweetness and so use accordingly.
