How to Make Strawberry Yogurt Overnight Oats

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop the fresh strawberries into small pieces so they blend well into the oats and provide bursts of sweetness in every bite. If you like a smoother consistency, you can mash some of the strawberries before mixing.

Step 2: Mix Everything Together

In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. If you prefer a little extra sweetness, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Stir well until everything is fully incorporated.

Step 3: Add the Strawberries

Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This helps infuse the oats with fresh, fruity flavor.

Step 4: Refrigerate Overnight

Cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy, pudding-like texture.

Step 5: Enjoy!

The next morning, give the oats a good stir. If they seem too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen them up. Top with extra fresh strawberries, nuts, or granola for added crunch, and enjoy a delicious, ready-to-eat breakfast!

Helpful Tips

• Use Rolled Oats – Avoid quick oats or steel-cut oats, as they won’t give the same creamy consistency.
• Adjust the Sweetness – Taste the mixture before refrigerating and adjust the sweetness as needed.
• Try Different Yogurts – Greek yogurt adds protein, but you can use any yogurt you prefer, including dairy-free options.
• Make It Extra Creamy – Add an extra spoonful of yogurt or a bit more milk if you like a smoother consistency.
• Boost the Nutrition – Add a tablespoon of flaxseeds or a scoop of protein powder for extra nutrients.
• Meal Prep Tip – Make multiple jars at once and store them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
