Tips & Tricks

Follow these tips and tricks to make the best strawberry yogurt overnight oats.

• Strawberry: Fresh or frozen, strawberries make the perfect addition to naturally sweeten soaked oats. They are a valuable source of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that are easily absorbed into the body. 
• Oats: Rolled oats provide the best results when preparing this recipe. Quick oats or steel cut oats are not recommended for soaking because quick oats become very mushy when soaked. Steel-cut oats are too chewy when not fully cooked.
• Liquid ratio: A general guideline for preparing overnight oats is a 2:1 liquid to oats water ratio. Let the oats soak for a minimum of 12 hours before serving! 
• Yogurt: Yogurt will make the oats extra creamy and delicious. Use a dairy-free alternative for vegans.
• Seeds: Hemp seed, chia seed, or flaxseed are valuable superfood ingredients that can easily be added to this soaked oats recipe.
• Vegan: Substitute the honey for any sweetener you prefer to make this into a vegan recipe. In addition, use a dairy-free milk and yogurt alternative.
• Gluten free: If you are gluten-intolerant or on a wheat free diet, be sure to use certified GF rolled oats even though oats are naturally gluten free.
• Protein powder: A scoop of protein powder will increase the amount of available nutrition.
• Sweetener: Adjust the amount of honey to sweeten the oats as needed. Substitute for coconut sugar, brown sugar, stevia or agave if you are looking for a vegan alternative.
• Give it a stir: The bottom layer of the oats is softer than the chewy top parts, so it’s best to stir the mixture for an even mouthfeel and consistency throughout the oats before garnishing with toppings.

Add Ins & Storage
