How to Make Strawberry Sunrise Overnight Oats
Add
Ingredients
Grab a mason jar or your favorite bowl. Add your rolled oats, chia seeds, that sweet strawberry jam, Greek yogurt, juicy strawberries, a sprinkle of freeze-dried strawberry powder (if you want a berry flavor boost), and pour in the milk or water.
Stir and Refrigerate
Give everything a good stir so the jam and yogurt marry into every crevice. Place the jar in your fridge for at least 3 hours, but leaving it overnight gives the oats the dreamiest texture.
Serve
In the morning, pull out your chilled jar. The oats will have soaked up a lot of the liquid and thickened beautifully if they’re a bit too dense, just add a splash more milk or water and stir again.
Top and Enjoy
This is the fun part: layer on more fresh berries, a handful of chopped almonds, or a light swoop of whipped cream. This final touch makes the oats feel like a special treat every single morning.
Storage
Planning ahead? These strawberry overnight oats will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days, making breakfast grab-and-go all week long.
