These Strawberry Overnight Oats are fruity, sweet and incredibly delicious. With just a few minutes of preparation time before bed, these oats are so simple to prepare and will be ready for you to enjoy in the morning! The vibrant flavour of strawberry is enhanced with lemon zest and vanilla - fresh, tangy and perfect for Summer!
In a small blender, add the strawberries and puree until smooth.
Add the strawberry puree to a medium-size bowl. Add the oats, chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla, maple syrup and lemon zest to the strawberries. Mix well to combine.
Cover the bowl with clingwrap, or divide the mixture into two glasses or mason jars and cover. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
Serve with toppings of your choice and additional milk if the mixture is too thick.
Notes
Strawberries: fresh or frozen will work. If using frozen, allow them to defrost before pureeing.
Milk: use milk of your choice. I use almond or oat milk. Add more milk when serving if you prefer a thinner texture.
Tablespoon: we use a standard Australian tablespoon which is 20 ml (4 teaspoons).
Toppings: the toppings are optional (and are not included in the nutritional information). Use toppings of your liking - see suggestions above.
