Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup strawberries chopped
  • 1-2 tsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp protein powder
Optional Toppings
  • sliced strawberries
  • granola
  • extra yogurt

Equipment

  • 1 Jar or container with lid for storing overnight oats
  • 1 spoon for mixing

Method
 

  1. In a jar or container, add the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, strawberries, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until everything is fully combined.
  2. Chop the strawberries into small pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the oats.
  3. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, until the oats are soft and the mixture has thickened.
  4. If the oats feel too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen the texture.
  5. Give the oats a good stir after chilling to evenly combine the texture.
  6. Top with extra strawberries or your favorite toppings, then serve.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness depending on how ripe your strawberries are—riper berries will need less added sweetener.
  • For a smoother texture, you can mash or lightly blend the strawberries before mixing.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep—make a few jars at once for easy breakfasts throughout the week.
  • If using protein powder, add a little extra milk to keep the oats from becoming too thick.
