Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ to ¾ cup milk or milk alternative (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional; use coconut or cashew yogurt for vegan option)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar)

Fresh Ingredients

  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced (or frozen strawberries as substitution)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: Place rolled oats, cocoa powder, and chia seeds into a mixing bowl or mason jar. Stir well to evenly distribute the cocoa powder and chia seeds throughout the oats.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in your choice of milk or milk alternative along with Greek yogurt if using. Add your preferred sweetener and stir thoroughly until the oats are fully coated and the cocoa blends smoothly with the liquids.
  3. Incorporate Strawberries: Slice fresh strawberries and gently fold them into the oat mixture to infuse natural sweetness and keep the fruit fresh and vibrant.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 6 hours. This allows the oats to soak, soften perfectly, and meld all the flavors together.
  5. Enjoy: The next morning, give the oats a quick stir, add any desired toppings such as sliced almonds or cacao nibs, and enjoy straight from the fridge or let it sit for a few minutes at room temperature if preferred.

Notes

  • Sift cocoa powder before mixing to avoid clumps and ensure an even chocolate flavor.
  • Adjust sweetener gradually as strawberries add natural sweetness; taste before adding more.
  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for a creamy texture; avoid instant oats to prevent sogginess.
  • Add strawberries just before refrigerating or in the morning to maintain maximum freshness.
  • Prepare multiple jars at once for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
