Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (any kind – dairy or plant-based)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
1 tbsp chia seeds
1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings:

Extra strawberries
Sliced almonds or granola
A drizzle of cream or milk
Mint leaves

Timing

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time: 4 hours (or overnight)

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the Base

In a jar or container, combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, honey, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 2: Add Strawberries

Fold in the chopped strawberries. Seal the container with a lid.

Step 3: Chill Overnight

Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, so the oats and chia seeds soften and absorb the liquid.
