Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
- Optional: 1/4-1/2 cup water (if mixture is very thick)
Fruit
- 3/4 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a pint-sized mason jar or similar container, add the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and if using, the vanilla protein powder. Add water if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all ingredients together well to ensure the oats and chia seeds are evenly distributed and soaked in the liquids.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator to soak overnight, or for at least two hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, stir the oats again and enjoy cold straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. You may add extra strawberries or toppings if desired.
Notes
- For a thinner texture, add an additional 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water or milk before soaking.
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries depending on availability; thaw frozen strawberries before mixing if preferred.
- Can be customized with other fruits like blueberries or bananas.
- Great source of fiber and protein, making it an ideal healthy breakfast option.
- Can be prepared in larger batches and stored in airtight containers for up to 3 days in the fridge.
