Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh strawberries, chopped
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup
Supplementary Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) chia seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) vanilla extract
- 12 tablespoons (180 ml) almond butter (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or mason jar, whisk together rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully integrated.
- Ensure all dry ingredients are completely moistened, creating a uniform mixture with no dry pockets of oats.
- Seal container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap, then refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld.
- After chilling, gently stir the mixture to redistribute any settled ingredients and check consistency, adding a splash of milk if too thick.
- Transfer the creamy oat mixture to a serving bowl, creating a smooth base for toppings.
- Artfully arrange fresh chopped strawberries across the surface, creating a vibrant layer of color and freshness.
- Drizzle almond butter in a zigzag pattern over the strawberries for additional texture and nutty richness.
- Serve immediately while chilled, savoring the creamy, tangy, and sweet flavor profile of this nutritious breakfast preparation.
Notes
- Customize your overnight oats by swapping almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk for different flavor profiles and dietary needs.
- Add extra protein by mixing in a scoop of vanilla or strawberry protein powder before refrigerating, perfect for post-workout breakfast.
- If watching sugar intake, reduce honey/maple syrup and use stevia or monk fruit sweetener as a low-calorie alternative.
- Enhance texture and nutrition by experimenting with toppings like sliced almonds, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added complexity.
