HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRIES AND CREAM OVERNIGHT OATS

I love making strawberry overnight oats with chia seeds. Chia adds not only a ton of nutrition, but also helps to thicken your overnight oatmeal without cooking it!

STEP 1: ADD ALL INGREDIENTS EVENLY BETWEEN 4 MASON JARS

And yes you can make more or less depending on how many servings you want! Just keep in mind that these strawberry overnight oats with yogurt and chia seeds will last only 4-5 days in the fridge.

In each mason jar add:

• ½ cup rolled (old fashioned) oats
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• ¼ cup yogurt
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ½ tablespoon pure maple syrup
• ¾ cup milk of choice
• ½ cup strawberries (fresh or frozen works)

STEP 2: STIR VERY WELL TO COMBINE

Using a spoon, stir your strawberry overnight oats very well to combine. You want to make sure the chia seeds get combined evenly with the milk to prevent clumping.

STEP 3: STORE OATS OVERNIGHT!

Seal your mason jars tightly and store your healthy strawberry overnight oats in the fridge till the next morning.

Not only do you have a quick and healthy breakfast recipe, but you also have soaked oats and chia seeds which your body will absorb the nutrients from better!
