- 1/2 tsp Real Vanilla: A splash of vanilla makes this really yummy.
- A pinch of Sea Salt: Sea salt enhances the overall balance of flavors.
- 1 tbsp Honey: Sweeten your oats just the way you like it, with the natural sweetness of honey. Just make sure it’s real honey and not the fake stuff.

Instructions for Strawberry Overnight Oats
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a jar or bowl, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1/2 tsp real vanilla, a pinch of sea salt, honey and 1/2 cup of your favorite milk. Stir well to mix everything evenly.
Step 2: Add Strawberries
Stir in about a 1/4 cup of fresh strawberries. Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the fridge overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
Step 3: Top and Serve
In the morning, give your oats a good stir. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of fresh strawberries, 1 tbsp Greek yogurt, and any other toppings you love, like granola or nuts. Enjoy your overnight strawberry oatmeal cold or warm it up if you prefer! Add more milk if you want it extra creamy.
Variations For Strawberry Overnight Oats
