Ingredients For Strawberry Overnight Oats

• 1/2 cup Rolled Oats: Rolled oats add a wholesome and satisfying texture.
• 1 tbsp Chia Seeds: These absorb liquid and create a delightful pudding-like consistency.
• 3 tbsp Greek Yogurt: Use 2 tbsp in the recipe and 1 tbsp for the topping.
• 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.
• 1/2 cup Milk: Use your favorite milk.
• 1/2 cup Fresh Strawberries: Dice them up and use 1/4 cup for the recipe and 1/4 cup for the topping.

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

1. Use Strawberry Jam

For an extra burst of strawberry flavor, stir in a spoonful of strawberry jam. It adds a sweet and fruity richness to the oats, making them even more delicious.

2. Add Cream Cheese

Add a dollop of cream cheese and a spoonful of strawberry jam to your oats for a rich, creamy, and sweet breakfast. The cream cheese gives the oats a smooth texture, while the jam brings that fruity sweetness.

3. Drizzle Almond Butter

Add a tablespoon of almond butter to your strawberry overnight oats for a nutty flavor and extra richness. It’s a great way to boost the protein content and make the oats even more satisfying.
