Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned) Rolled oats work best for texture.
  • 1 cup milk or dairy-free alternative (almond, oat, or soy) Use your preferred milk.
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Use coconut yogurt for dairy-free.
  • 1 cup strawberries, sliced Use fresh or thawed frozen strawberries.
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Optional; adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 tablespoon honey (if using), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Stir vigorously until the mixture is uniform and chia seeds are evenly distributed.
  3. Fold in 1 cup sliced strawberries gently so they don’t puree.
  4. Divide the mixture into two jars or bowls and seal with lids or plastic wrap.
  5. Refrigerate overnight (at least 6–8 hours) so the oats soften and absorb liquid.
Serving
  1. Serve chilled. Top with extra strawberries, a drizzle of honey, or toasted nuts if desired.
