INGREDIENTS

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 (Note 1)
2 cups rolled oats certified gluten-free if needed (Note 2)
2 Tablespoons chia seeds
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2-3 scoops vanilla protein powder optional (Note 3)
Toppings: Crushed graham crackers, crushed Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins, strawberry jam (Note 4)

INSTRUCTIONS

Place 1/2 cup of the strawberries, all of the milk, maple syrup, vanilla, greek yogurt, and cream cheese or nut butter in a food processor or high speed blender. Blend until smooth and all of the strawberries are broken down. The mixture should be a light pink color.
Add the rolled oats to a large bowl with the chia seeds, salt, and optional protein powder and mix well. Pour in the strawberry mixture and mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until well combined. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of chopped strawberries. Stir to distribute the strawberries into the oats. The mixture will be slightly runny. See recipe note 5 for mixing it in individual jars.
Divide the oats into 4-5 separate jars with a lid, like a mason jar, and store in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight. The oats and chia seeds will have absorbed the milk and become thick like pudding when it’s done.
When you’re ready to serve, top them with crushed crackers, strawberry jam, and/or fresh chopped strawberries.

Large bowl or individual mason jars

Notes

Note 1. Cream Cheese. We tested this recipe with Kyte Hill dairy-free cream cheese and it was delicious. If you can’t find this and want a dairy-free or plant-based option, omit it and add more nut butter or dairy-free Greek yogurt.

Note 2. Gluten-Free Oats. We tested this recipe with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Rolled Oats. I don't recommend quick oats because they become mushy as they soak.

Note 3. Protein Powder. Mix in 2-3 servings of your favorite plain or vanilla protein powder. You will need up to ⅓ cup more milk. Start with ¼ cup of milk and add more as needed. Our favorite protein powder is Be Well By Kelly because it’s made with grass-fed Swedish protein, monk fruit, and real flavors.

Note 4. Graham Cracker Crumbs. You can use any crushed graham cracker crumbs. They even make gluten-free graham cracker crumbs. However, Simple Mills Honey Cinnamon Sweet Thins are the most similar in taste and texture with high-quality, paleo-friendly ingredients. We use the chocolate ones in our dairy-free chocolate pie crust.

Note 5. Mix in Individual Jars. Follow the instructions to blend the wet ingredients and divide them evenly into 4 jars. Add 1/2 cup of oats, 1/2 Tablespoon of chia seeds, a pinch of salt, and chopped strawberries to each. Stir, cover, and store as directed.
