Notes
Yogurt options: I like and use Fage 2% or 5% plain Greek yogurt, as it is made with good quality ingredients, has no refined sugar and has a good amount of protein. You can use vanilla yogurt if you prefer, however, watch the labels for any added/refined sugar.
Milk options: I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk, however, feel free to use any dairy or plant-based milk you prefer. Nutritional and calorie content will vary depending on the milk you choose.
Fresh or frozen strawberries can be used. If using frozen, they don't need to be defrosted. The strawberries will thaw once refrigerated with the oats.
Storage: overnight oats need at least 3 hours to properly soak. The oats are best within 1-2 days after mixing, however they will keep for up to 5 days refrigerated. I use and love these glass meal prep containers for storing overnight oats. They stack easily in the refrigerator, the lids seal well preventing any leaks or spills, and are great for packing in lunch bags for work or school.
