# What You'll Need:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk, dairy or unsweetened plant-based
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 2 teaspoons honey or pure maple syrup
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Fruit Layer
07 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
→ Toppings
08 - 2 tablespoons chopped nuts such as almonds or walnuts
09 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
10 - Extra sliced strawberries for garnish
# How to Make It:
01 - In a medium bowl or jar, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
02 - Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the oat mixture until evenly distributed throughout.
03 - Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and achieve a creamy, softened texture.
04 - In the morning, stir the oat mixture thoroughly. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your preferred thickness.
05 - Spoon the prepared oats into bowls or serving jars. Top with additional fresh strawberries, chopped nuts, and coconut flakes if desired. Serve chilled.
