Strawberry Overnight Oats Chia

# What You Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup rolled oats

02 - 1 cup milk, dairy or plant-based

03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt

04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds

05 - 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Fruit

07 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

→ Toppings

08 - 1/2 cup granola

09 - Additional strawberries, sliced as desired

# Steps:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl or mason jar, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.

02 - Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the oat mixture, distributing evenly throughout.

03 - Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and reach the desired creamy consistency.

04 - In the morning, stir the overnight oats thoroughly. If the mixture appears too thick, add a splash of milk to achieve desired consistency.

05 - Divide the overnight oats evenly between two serving bowls or jars. Top each portion with granola and additional sliced strawberries if desired.

06 - Serve immediately while the granola maintains its crunch.

# Expert Tips:

01 -

Zero morning stress—your breakfast assembles itself in the fridge while you sleep.
It actually tastes better the next day as the oats absorb all those strawberry juices and become naturally sweeter.
One bowl gives you protein, fiber, and omega-3s, which means you'll actually stay full through mid-morning meetings.

02 -

The mixture continues to thicken in the fridge, so if you're making these on Sunday for the whole week, add a bit extra milk when you first make them.
Don't skip stirring in the morning—the chia seeds settle to the bottom and create an almost gel-like layer that needs redistributing for proper texture.
