Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Milk Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberry halves
- 1.75 cups (1 3/4 cups) creamy non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vegan yogurt
- 2 tablespoons grade A maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 small lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon)
- 1 pinch salt
Oatmeal Base Ingredients:
- 2 cups quick-cooking or rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds or ground flaxseed
- 3/4 cup diced strawberries
Topping Ingredients:
- Nut butter
- Hemp hearts
- Chopped almonds
Instructions
- Transform ripe strawberry halves into a luscious liquid by blending with non-dairy milk, yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt for 45-60 seconds until silky smooth. The resulting mixture will showcase a delicate pink hue reminiscent of homemade strawberry milk.
- Combine oats and chia seeds in a spacious mixing vessel, then pour the freshly blended strawberry milk over the dry ingredients. Gently fold in diced strawberries, ensuring complete liquid integration. Allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes, enabling the seeds and oats to absorb the liquid and develop a luxurious pudding-like consistency.
- Distribute the oat mixture evenly into storage containers or mason jars. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to achieve maximum creaminess and flavor development. Before serving, thoroughly stir the chilled oats and embellish with preferred garnishes for a delightful morning feast.
Notes
- Customize sweetness by adjusting maple syrup to personal taste preferences, ensuring a balanced flavor profile.
- Use frozen strawberries as a convenient alternative when fresh berries are not in season, maintaining the vibrant color and fruity essence.
- Prepare multiple batches in advance for quick, grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week, saving time during busy mornings.
