Ingredients in Strawberry Overnight Oats

• oats  – You can use rolled oats, quick oats or even steel cut oats. I actually really love the texture when using steel cut oats. They stay a little chewy, which I personally enjoy. Just know if you do end up using steel cut, you’ll need to make sure the mixture is refrigerated for at least 6 hours (compared to about 4 hours for rolled or quick oats).
• chia seeds – Adding a good dose of healthy fats but also helps thicken the oats mixture.
• Greek or skyr yogurt – My favorite way to make oats is with yogurt. It keeps the consistency creamy and adds a fair amount of protein. You can use a thick plant based yogurt (Siggi’s makes a good one) or Greek, or traditional Skyr.
• milk of choice – I typically go for an unsweetened non-dairy milk (i.e. almond milk, soy milk, hemp milk, etc.) but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. Note: if you’re using a plant protein milk, you may need a little extra.
• maple syrup – Adding additional sugar here is definitely optional, but I found the oats tastes best with just a hint of sweetness. If you’re using a flavored yogurt, you probably don’t need it. Or, you could always taste test the oats the next morning and add in a hint of maple syrup or honey as needed.
• vanilla extract – adds more flavor!
• chopped strawberries – fresh strawberries are the way to go here. But if you have frozen sliced strawberries, they can be used as well.

So many ways to make these strawberry oats your own.
