Ingredients

  • Base: 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)

  • Liquid: 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

  • Protein Boost: 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • Healthy Fats: 1 tbsp almond butter (plus extra for drizzling)

  • Seeds: 1 tbsp chia seeds

  • Fruit: 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

  • Sweetener: 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)

  • Flavor: 1/4 tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the Base: In a wide-mouth glass jar (like the one in your photo), mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. The chia seeds are essential for that thick, pudding-like texture.

  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and your chosen sweetener. Mix well until no dry clumps of oats remain.

  3. Swirl in the Nut Butter: Gently fold in the almond butter. You can leave it slightly marbled or mix it thoroughly for a consistent nutty flavor.

  4. Layer the Fruit: Fold in half of the chopped strawberries. Save the rest for a fresh topping in the morning.

  5. Chill: Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, though overnight is best. This gives the oats time to soften and absorb the flavors.

  6. Serve: Give it a quick stir. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk. Top with the remaining strawberries and an extra drizzle of almond butter.

Tip: If you prefer a crunchier texture, add a few sliced almonds or granola right before eating!
