How To Make Strawberry Yogurt Overnight Oats

1. To start, gather all the necessary ingredients, especially fresh strawberries and your favorite type of yogurt.
2. Then, in a medium-sized bowl or a mason jar, combine the rolled oats, yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
3. Gently fold in a few pieces of the chopped strawberries(reserve at least half for later. This will allow their flavor to infuse overnight, adding extra sweetness and texture throughout the oats.
4. Cover the bowl or mason jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the fridge overnight (or for at least 4-6 hours) but preferably overnight. The oats will absorb the liquid and soften, creating that signature creamy overnight oats texture that we love by morning.
5. In the morning, give the mixture a quick stir and taste to see if you’d like to adjust the sweetness or thickness. Then top your yummy strawberry yogurt overnight oats with the extra fresh strawberries, some nuts, some granola, or any other toppings you prefer.
6. Enjoy!

Possible Recipe Variations

1. Vegan Option: Simply swap the yogurt and milk for plant-based versions and the honey for maple syrup or agave to make this recipe vegan.
2. Protein Boost: If you’re looking for an extra protein kick, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or use a high-protein yogurt like Greek yogurt.
3. Berrylicous overnight oats: Not a fan of strawberries alone? Mix things up by adding blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries along with the strawberries for a colorful and antioxidant-rich overnight oats recipe.
4. Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Oats: Add a spoonful of unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate chips for a chocolatey strawberry overnight oats recipe.
5. Nut Butter Overnight Oats: For extra creaminess and flavor, mix in a tablespoon of almond butter or peanut butter before refrigerating. Nut butters pair wonderfully with the strawberries.
6. Low-Sugar Option: Skip the honey or maple syrup and use vanilla-flavored yogurt for a hint of sweetness without the added sugar. This will give you an indulgently creamy low sugar overnight oats recipe you wont be able to resist!
