Helpful Tips

  • How to customize these oats: You can easily swap the berries depending on what you have in your kitchen. Extra cherries, blackberries, or strawberries all work beautifully in this recipe.
  • Dairy-free option: Use Silk yogurt , or make a homemade jam instead of a yogurt layer.
  • Add a boost of strawberry!  Strawberry extract, strawberry protein powder or fresh strawberries may be added to the yogurt layer for extra strawberry flavor.
  • No strawberry protein powder? Feel free to use vanilla protein powder instead.
  • 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.
