Ingredients

Fruit and Dairy Base

  • 1 cup diced fresh or frozen strawberries (divided)
  • 2 1/3 cups plant milk (any kind)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plant-based if needed)
  • 1/4 cup softened cream cheese (dairy-free if needed) or cashew butter

Oats Mixture

  • 2 cups rolled oats (certified gluten-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2-3 scoops vanilla protein powder (optional)

Toppings

  • Crushed graham crackers
  • Crushed Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins
  • Strawberry jam

Instructions

  1. Blend Strawberry Base: Place 1/2 cup of the strawberries, all the plant milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, Greek yogurt, and softened cream cheese or nut butter into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until smooth and the strawberries are fully broken down, yielding a light pink colored mixture.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, kosher salt, and optional vanilla protein powder thoroughly. This ensures even distribution of all ingredients.
  3. Mix Strawberry Puree with Oats: Pour the blended strawberry mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir well using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the mixture is thoroughly combined and slightly runny. Fold in the remaining 1/2 cup of diced strawberries to incorporate fresh fruit chunks.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Divide the combined oat mixture evenly into 4 to 5 separate jars with lids, such as mason jars. Seal and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight. During this time, the oats and chia seeds will absorb the liquid, thickening to a pudding-like consistency.
  5. Serve with Toppings: When ready to enjoy, top each jar with crushed graham crackers, crushed Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins, strawberry jam, and additional fresh chopped strawberries if desired, for a delightful texture contrast and added sweetness.

Notes

  • Note 1: Cashew butter can be used as a dairy-free alternative to cream cheese, adding creaminess and subtle nuttiness.
  • Note 2: Use certified gluten-free oats if gluten sensitivity is a concern.
  • Note 3: Vanilla protein powder is optional but boosts protein content for a more filling meal.
  • Note 4: For toppings, crushed graham crackers or Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins add crunch and flavor; strawberry jam enhances the fruity sweetness.
  • Note 5: For easy individual servings, layer the mixture into jars to take on-the-go or portion control.
