Equipment

1 set measuring cups
1 set measuring spoons
1 blender or food processor
1 mason jar or container with lid

Ingredients

½ cup diced strawberries, divided about 6-8 large strawberries
½ cup rolled oats look for certified gluten-free if you eat GF
½ tablespoon chia seeds I use Nativas brand.
½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or your favorite milk, I use Califia Farms.
¼ cup vanilla nonfat greek yogurt or Skyr or your favorite yogurt, I use Siggi's
1 tablespoon maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Dice your strawberries. Combine half the strawberries (¼ cup diced) and the wet ingredients including milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. This is your strawberry "milk".
In a mason jar or other container with a lid, mix together the dry ingredients including the rolled oatmeal, chia seeds, and the rest of the strawberries.
Pour the strawberry milk into the container and give it a good stir. Cover and store in the fridge overnight or at least for 4 hours for best results.
When ready to serve, add your toppings of choice and enjoy!
Hint: Use a wide mouth mason jar or even an almost empty peanut butter or almond butter jar to make your overnight oats.

Notes

Ideas for Toppings for Overnight Oats

Fruit - add some extra fruit on top. Blueberries, bananas, or mangoes pair nicely with delicious strawberries!
Dark Chocolate Chips - top with dark chocolate chips or chunks of your favorite dark chocolate bar!
Nuts - sliced almonds or chopped cashews on top add crunch and even more flavor.
Nut butter - add a tablespoon of your favorite nut or seed butter to the top! Peanut butter, cashew butter, or almond butter work great. For an allergy-friendly nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter.

Storage

Refrigerator: Store overnight oats in an airtight container. You can keep overnight oats in the fridge for up to 5 days. They will continue to get creamier the longer they sit. I typically make them the night before and let them soak overnight, but you could meal prep multiple jars to have them ready for you throughout the whole week.

Registered Dietitian Tip

Did you know that oatmeal contains a dietary fiber called beta-glucan? Beta-glucan may help lower cholesterol levels, can help support your digestive system, and stabilize blood-sugar levels. Just a half cup of oats contains around 15% of your daily fiber intake for the day and 5 grams of protein. These overnight oats are a delicious way to nourish your body with care and stay full and satisfied until your next meal.

Additional Nutrition Information

While healthy eating means something different to everyone, overnight oats are a nourishing option that can help you meet your daily dietary needs! Oatmeal is high in soluble fiber and extra filling with the addition of the chia seeds and Greek yogurt in this recipe. It is also high in several nutrients including magnesium, iron, and zinc. Chia seeds add heart-healthy fatty acids, protein, and more fiber and strawberries add vitamin C and manganese.
