Ingredients

  • Rolled Oats, old-fashioned style, not instant or steel-cut½ cup
  • 2% Reduced-Fat Milk, or any milk of your choice⅔ cup
  • Chia Seeds, black or white seeds work equally well1 tbsp
  • Plain Greek Yogurt, adds creaminess and protein¼ cup

Method

  1. Prepare the strawberries

    Wash the Strawberry thoroughly and pat dry. Use a small knife to remove the green leafy tops, then slice them into thin, bite-sized rounds or quarters so they release their juices easily into the oats.

    3 min
  2. Combine the dry base

    Add the Rolled Oats, Chia Seeds, and Kosher Salt to your mason jar. Give them a quick stir or a gentle shake to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed among the oats before adding any liquid.

    2 min
  3. Whisk in the wet ingredients

    Pour in the 2% Reduced-Fat Milk, Plain Greek Yogurt, Maple Syrup, and Vanilla Extract. Use a long spoon to stir vigorously, reaching all the way to the bottom corners of the jar to ensure no dry pockets of oats remain.

    3 min
  4. Add the fruit and seal

    Gently fold in about two-thirds of the sliced Strawberry. Secure the lid tightly on the jar and give it one final, vigorous shake to marry all the components together.

    2 min
  5. Refrigerate and set

    Place the jar in the refrigerator and leave it to rest for at least 8 hours, or ideally overnight. During this time, the oats and chia seeds will absorb the milk and yogurt, thickening into a creamy consistency.

    480 min
  6. Final stir and garnish

    Remove the lid and give the oats one last stir. Top with the remaining fresh Strawberry slices and enjoy cold directly from the jar.
