Cook time: 0 min

Servings: 1

Vegetarian

Ingredients

• 85 mL (1⁄3 cup) lower fat plain yogurt

• 85 mL (1⁄3 cup) large flake oats

• 85 mL (1⁄3 cup) lower fat milk, unsweetened fortified soy beverage or water

• 125 mL (1⁄2 cup) frozen strawberries

• 2 mL (1⁄2 tsp) cinnamon

Directions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all ingredients (except strawberries). Spoon into a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.

2. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight before eating. Top with strawberries when ready to serve.

Tips

• Eat overnight oats cold or warm. If you prefer them warm, heat up in the microwave before eating.

• Stir in more milk, unsweetened fortified soy plant-based beverage or water before eating if you prefer a looser consistency.

• Switch it up! Use your favorite seasonal fruit instead of frozen strawberries. In the summer, try peaches, plums, or blueberries.

• Little chefs can help mix the ingredients.
