  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Sweeteners and Add-ins

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)

Fruit

  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then slice them into bite-sized pieces to spread sweetness evenly throughout the oats.
  2. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix rolled oats, milk or your chosen alternative, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  3. Add Sweetener and Chia Seeds: Drizzle honey or maple syrup over the mixture and sprinkle in chia seeds, which help thicken the oats and add nutritional benefits.
  4. Layer the Strawberries: Fold in the sliced strawberries gently, reserving a few for garnish if desired, then cover the container tightly.
