Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Fruit
- 6-8 chopped strawberries (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Stir all the ingredients together very well in a mixing bowl or directly in your jars, ensuring the oats and chia seeds are fully incorporated with the milk, yogurt, sweetener, vanilla, and sea salt.
- Portion and Cover: Divide the oat mixture evenly between two serving jars or containers. Cover each jar tightly with lids to prevent any odors from the refrigerator affecting the oats.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Place the jars in the refrigerator and let them chill overnight (at least 6 hours) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften fully. Serve cold, topped with extra freshly chopped strawberries or fruit of choice for extra freshness and flavor.
Notes
- You can use any milk of your choice—dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Maple syrup or honey can be adjusted to taste or substituted with other natural sweeteners.
- Make sure to use rolled oats, not instant or steel-cut oats, for the best texture.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them great for meal prep.
- Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition if desired.
