Instructions

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the yogurt, milk, honey, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest until fully combined and smooth.
Add Oats and Chia Seeds: Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds evenly into the wet mixture. Then gently fold in half of the diced strawberries to incorporate them without mashing.
Portion Into Containers: Divide the mixture evenly among 4 jars or bowls. Top each serving with the remaining diced strawberries for freshness and color.
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jars or bowls and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
Serve: Enjoy the overnight oats cold directly from the refrigerator or heat for about one minute in the microwave to warm before eating. The oats will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

Use either full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt based on your preference for creaminess and richness.
You can substitute the milk with any dairy or unsweetened plant-based milk like almond milk.
Adjust the honey quantity to taste for sweetness.
Make sure to hull and dice fresh strawberries for the best texture and flavor.
Overnight oats can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making them a great meal prep option.
If desired, add nuts or seeds on top for extra crunch when serving.
