Scale
- 1 cup whole rolled oats
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
- 1 cup milk (use your fave!)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon agave (maple syrup or honey are also great)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 tablespoons almonds, roughly chopped

Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, and salt, and mix together.
- Add wet ingredients. Add milk, yogurt, agave, and vanilla. Stir until everything is well-combined.
- Chill. Cover the oats and let them chill in the fridge overnight (or for at least four hours to ensure thick, soft oats that have mostly absorbed the liquid).
- Top and eat. Remove your overnight oats from the fridge and divide into two servings. Top with diced fresh strawberries and chopped almonds. Add a dollop of whipped cream or whipped coconut cream for a true strawberry shortcake experience!
