Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (240 ml) almond milk
- 1/2 cup (120 g) Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
- 2 tablespoons (30 g) chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
Fruit
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the required ingredients including rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and fresh strawberries.
- Mix Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir until well blended to create the overnight oats mixture.
- Layer the Oats and Strawberries: Take a glass or jar and layer half of the oat mixture at the bottom. Next, add a layer of the sliced strawberries, followed by the remaining oat mixture. Finally, top with the rest of the strawberries to create a beautiful layered effect.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or glass and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften, absorbing the flavors and liquids.
- Serve and Enjoy: The next morning, gently stir the mixture if desired, and enjoy cold. Optionally, drizzle with extra honey for added sweetness.
