❓ FAQ

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Why are my oats too thin?
Reduce the liquid slightly or let them sit longer. You can also add a bit more yogurt to thicken the mixture.

Can I add protein powder?
Yes, but add a splash of extra milk to keep the texture smooth and not too thick.

Do strawberries make overnight oats watery?
Strawberries can release a bit of liquid as they sit, especially if frozen. Stir before serving or slightly reduce the milk to keep the texture thicker.
