Preparing The Ingredients

Then, take one cup of almond milk. This helps to soften the oats and adds creaminess.

For sweetness, consider adding one to two tablespoons of maple syrup. Adjust based on personal preference.

Next, measure two tablespoons of chia seeds. These provide texture and help thicken the mixture overnight.

Now it’s time to prepare the strawberries. Rinse them under cold water and slice them into small pieces. Fresh strawberries will add flavor and color to the dish.

Finally, set everything on a clean workspace. This sets the stage for mixing the ingredients together.

• Adding different fruits can change the flavor. She could use bananas, blueberries, or raspberries instead of strawberries. Each fruit will give a new twist to the dish.
• Using different nut butters is another option. Almond butter or peanut butter can add creaminess and richness. This small change provides extra protein too.
• For an added crunch, granola can be mixed in. She can sprinkle it on top or stir it in for texture. It makes the oats interesting and satisfying.
• Experimenting with different plant milks is also a good idea. Almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk can change the creaminess and taste. She can choose her favorite or whatever she has on hand.
• Finally, flavored extracts can enhance the taste. Adding a splash of vanilla or almond extract can give a delightful aroma. Just a little can go a long way.
