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 ingredients listed—rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and fresh strawberries.
- Mix Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir well to blend all the ingredients thoroughly, ensuring the oats are fully coated.
- Layer Ingredients: Take a glass or a jar and layer half of the oat mixture at the bottom, followed by a layer of the sliced fresh strawberries. Then, add the remaining oat mixture on top and finish with another strawberry layer.
- Refrigerate: Cover the glass or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or for a minimum of 4 to 6 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids, softening and thickening the mixture.
- Serve: In the morning, gently stir the oats mixture to combine the layers evenly. Optionally, drizzle extra honey on top for added sweetness and enjoy it cold.
