Every summer, my grandmother would wake up before sunrise to pick fresh strawberries from her garden. She’d always say, “The secret to a good day is starting it with something sweet and nourishing.” This Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats recipe is my way of keeping that tradition alive. Try it out tonight and wake up to a deliciously creamy breakfast waiting just for you!
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (any kind – dairy or plant-based)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional for extra fiber)
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
In a jar or bowl, combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla, and salt.
Stir well, then gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
In the morning, give it a stir and add more strawberries or a splash of milk if desired!
Use frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t available.
Add sliced almonds or granola on top for a crunch.
Prep a few jars at once for the week ahead.
