Hello everyone, Happy Monday!
So excited today, because this is officially my first healthy-ish recipe, and it’s one of my favorites! This overnight oats is so easy to make, healthy, and loaded with fresh strawberries! So, if you’re looking for a quick, fresh, and summery breakfast or snack, this recipe is for you!

WHAT ARE OVERNIGHT OATS?

Overnight oats are simply rolled oats (old fashioned) that are left to soak in a liquid overnight instead of cooking it. Yes, you eat it straight from the refrigerator which makes them perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or snack, especially on summer days.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

Rolled oats – In this recipe, we will use old-fashioned rolled oats. I find that rolled oats are the best to use for overnight oats. I wouldn’t recommend steel-cut oats as the texture will be different.
Fresh strawberries – you need fresh fruits for this recipe. I don’t recommend using frozen fruits. Feel free to use any berries! Blueberries are also great for this recipe!
Greek yogurt – I love using original Greek yogurt in this recipe but feel free to use any kind of thick yogurt you like.
Almond milk – or any milk will work in this recipe.
Chia seeds – this adds healthy fats & fiber, and they’ll also help to thicken them a bit for the perfect texture.
Honey – I like to use honey or maple syrup to give a bit of sweetness to the oats

HOW TO MAKE OVERNIGHT OATS?

It’s so simple, all you need to do is combine all the ingredients in a medium-sized glass jar, bowl, or container. Stir until well combined, then cover and put in the fridge overnight or at least for 2 hours. Once ready to serve, stir it well, you can also add extra toppings as desired and enjoy!

HOW LONG DO OVERNIGHT OATS LAST IN THE REFRIGERATOR?

Overnight oats stay good in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. That means you can meal-prepping a bunch of these on Sunday and simply enjoy it during busy weekdays. Just be sure to give them a good stir if they’ve been sitting for a couple of days and/or add a little splash of milk.
