Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (cow’s milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or kefir)
- 2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberries, cut into small pieces
Toppings (Optional)
- Hemp seeds
- Granola
- Chopped nuts
- Sliced strawberries
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the rolled oats, milk of your choice, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, and the chopped strawberries until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate Mixture: Divide the oatmeal mixture into jars or containers such as mason jars. Seal and place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and flavors.
- Serve: When ready to eat, remove from the fridge and top with your favorite optional toppings such as hemp seeds, granola, chopped nuts, or additional sliced strawberries for extra texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can customize the milk type to suit dietary preferences, using dairy or plant-based milk.
- Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, but kefir or any yogurt can be substituted.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using maple syrup as a vegan alternative.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them ideal for meal prep.
- For added crunch, add nuts or granola just before serving to maintain texture.
