Sam's Kitchen Favorites

• For this recipe, I used these 10 ounce overnight oat jars with lids.

• I love these silicone mixing spoons. No more scraping the bowl, and the food doesn't stick to them!

• My go-to angled liquid measuring cup . After multiple runs through the dishwasher, the numbers have not worn off.

• For permanently engraved measurements,these measuring cups are fantastic!

• For a more professional yet affordable mixing bowl, these stackable bowls with measurements marks work perfectly.

Helpful Tips

• Don't have strawberry protein powder? Vanilla protein powder is a great substitution.

• To make these oats dairy free, omit the yogurt or use Silk yogurt instead. If omitting yogurt, I like to add an additional mashed banana to maintain a creamy texture.

• No bananas on hand? Consider adding vanilla extract, and extra blueberries to the bottom layer, this will prevent the spirulina powder from becoming overpowering.

• Swap the fruits based on what you have in your kitchen, stay away from citrusy fruits as they might clash a little with the earthy spirulina layer instead of blending smoothly.

• Customize these oats further by using matcha powder in place of spirulina powder.

• What type of oats are best? I prefer rolled oats, but quick oats may be used as well for a softer consistency. Avoid using steel-cut oats, they will remain firm and chewy without cooking.
