Strawberry Overnight Oats
Description
This recipe layers chia seeds and rolled oats in mason jars before adding almond milk and vanilla extract, allowing the mixture to soak in the fridge for 4 to 24 hours. The chia seeds thicken the liquid into a pudding-like consistency while the oats soften but retain some bite. Freeze-dried or fresh strawberries on top contribute fruity brightness and color.
The portioned jars make for easy meal prep and the oats can be customized by adding more milk before eating if a thinner texture is desired. The simplicity of ingredients and hands-off soaking method provide a nutritious breakfast or snack with natural sweetness and texture contrast.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup freeze dried strawberries or fresh
Instructions
- In two half- pint mason jars, divide the chia seeds in half and add them to the bottom of the each mason jar.
- Add in half of the oats to each mason jar. Then add in half of the milk and vanilla extract on top of the oats in each jar. Top with the strawberries.
- Place the top on the mason jars and place in the fridge for 4 to 24 hours. Add more milk in the jar when ready to serve, if desired.
