# Ingredient List:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based alternative)
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
06 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - Pinch of salt
→ Strawberry Lemonade Mix
08 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
09 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
10 - 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
11 - 2 teaspoons poppy seeds
→ Toppings
12 - Sliced fresh strawberries
13 - Additional lemon zest
14 - Extra poppy seeds
# Recipe Steps:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl or large jar, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all components are evenly incorporated.
02 - In a separate small bowl, mash half of the diced strawberries with the lemon juice and lemon zest until juicy while maintaining a slightly chunky texture.
03 - Fold the mashed strawberry mixture, remaining diced strawberries, and poppy seeds into the oat base. Stir until fully combined with no dry oats visible.
04 - Cover the bowl or seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to hydrate and flavors to meld.
05 - In the morning, stir the oats and add additional milk if a thinner consistency is preferred. Divide between two bowls or jars and top with fresh strawberries, lemon zest, and poppy seeds. Serve chilled.
