Instructions
- 1
In a 16-oz mason jar, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Stir vigorously for 30 seconds to fully hydrate the chia and break up any clumps.
- 2
Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight (8–12 hours), until the oats are tender and the chia has thickened the mixture into a creamy, pudding-like base.
- 3
In the morning, uncover and give the oats a good stir. If they're thicker than you like, loosen with an extra splash (1–2 tbsp) of almond milk.
- 4
Wash and halve the strawberries, then layer the mixed berries on top of the oats right in the jar.
- 5
Finish with the chopped toasted almonds and, if you like, a small drizzle of honey.
- 6
Eat straight from the jar, or spoon into a bowl. Store any prepped jars sealed in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Cook's tips
- → Chia needs at least 2 hours to gel — for the signature tapioca-like texture, don't skip the overnight rest.
- → Layer the fresh berries on top just before eating so they don't bleed color into the oats or turn the base pink.
- → Greek yogurt is the protein workhorse here — plain 2% Greek yogurt packs roughly 17 g of protein per ¾-cup serving per USDA FoodData Central, and chia adds another ~5 g of fiber. Reference:
