# What You Need:
→ Oats & Seeds
01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
→ Protein & Dairy
03 - 1 cup unsweetened milk (dairy or plant-based)
04 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt)

# Steps:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl or large jar, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, and salt.
02 - Add unsweetened milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir well until fully combined and no lumps remain.
03 - Gently fold half of the chopped strawberries into the oat mixture.
04 - Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers. Top with remaining strawberries.
05 - Cover containers and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to fully absorb the liquid and reach desired consistency.
06 - In the morning, stir the mixture thoroughly. Add a splash of milk if a thinner consistency is preferred. Serve chilled directly from the container.
