Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup kefir
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and kefir, stirring until the oats are completely coated and well incorporated.
- Add honey to the oat and kefir mixture, gently stirring to ensure even distribution of sweetness throughout the mixture.
- Sprinkle chia seeds into the mixture and mix thoroughly, allowing them to begin absorbing liquid and creating a thicker texture.

- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into two individual mason jars or sealed containers.
- Place the prepared overnight oats in the refrigerator and allow to chill and set for at least 6-8 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, give the oats a gentle stir to redistribute any settled ingredients.
- Top with the remaining fresh sliced strawberries and an optional drizzle of additional honey if desired.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your nutritious and delicious Strawberry Kefir Overnight Oats.
Tips
- Choose high-quality kefir for the best flavor and probiotic benefits. Opt for plain or slightly sweetened varieties.
- For extra creaminess, you can substitute half the kefir with Greek yogurt.
- Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the most intense flavor. If strawberries aren't in season, frozen berries work well too.
- Experiment with different honey varieties like wildflower or lavender honey to add unique flavor notes.
- Prep your overnight oats in individual mason jars for easy portioning and grab-and-go convenience.
- For added texture, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts or granola on top before serving.
- The oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of milk in the morning to adjust the texture.
