Notes

If the oats are too thick, add milk to reach desired consistency. Adjust sweetness to taste. To prevent mushy strawberries, add them in the morning. For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and yogurt alternatives, and ensure your sweetener is vegan-friendly. Try variations like adding other berries, cocoa powder and chocolate chips, peanut butter, or coconut milk and shredded coconut.
