Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup rolled oats: Provides a chewy texture and is rich in fiber.
- ½ cup milk: I often use almond milk, but any milk works.
- ⅓ cup yogurt: Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein.
- ½ cup diced strawberries: Fresh strawberries bring natural sweetness and flavor.
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup: Adds a touch of sweetness.
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds: These seeds help thicken the mixture and add omega-3s.
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor.
- Pinch of salt: Balances the sweetness.
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In your chosen container, mix the rolled oats, milk, yogurt, diced strawberries, maple syrup, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Stir Well: Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Refrigerate: Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
- Enjoy: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If desired, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.
Notes
Fresh vs. Frozen Strawberries: While fresh strawberries are ideal, frozen ones work in a pinch. Just thaw and dice them before adding.
Consistency Preference: If you prefer thicker oats, reduce the milk slightly. For a looser texture, add a bit more milk.
Sweetness Level: Adjust the maple syrup to your taste. Sometimes, the natural sweetness of strawberries is enough.
