Strawberry Overnight Oats (Vegan)

Makes 1 serving
Looking for a tasty and healthy breakfast to start your day with? Strawberry overnight oats can be made the night before and are a convenient breakfast to enjoy on busy mornings. This hearty breakfast is loaded with whole grains and is high in protein and fiber. A simple three ingredient strawberry milk gives the oats extra strawberry flavor and is naturally sweetened with medjool dates. The combination of creamy quick oats and chewy rolled oats absorb the flavors of the strawberry milk and chia seeds help thicken the oat mixture. These make-ahead strawberry overnight oats are a delicious way to enjoy strawberry season and take only 10 minutes to prepare.

 

Ingredients:
¼ cup quick oats
¼ cup rolled oats
1 ½ tbsp. chia seeds
½ tsp. cinnamon
1 cup strawberries, halved
3-4 medjool dates, pitted
1 ¼ cups unsweetened soymilk

  1. Add soymilk, dates, and ½ cup strawberries to a blender and blend until all ingredients are well blended.
  2. Add oats, chia seeds, and cinnamon to a 16-ounce jar and mix all ingredients. Add strawberry milk and stir to combine. Place in the fridge overnight for 6-10 hours.
  3. Top with remaining ½ cup strawberries. Enjoy!
