Strawberry overnight oats is a quick make-ahead breakfast. Oats soak overnight with strawberry, cinnamon and seeds. We mix in curd and chia and a little honey, and top with fresh strawberries and seeds. It is creamy, gluten-free and ready when you wake up.

Easy to change with different fruits and seeds

What you get in every serving

This is the jar I prepare on busy weeks when mornings are rushed. At about 136 calories with nearly 6g of protein and around 3.6g of fibre, it is light but truly filling — the curd and chia add protein and the oats give slow energy, while the strawberries add freshness and natural sweetness. Picking up a ready jar from the fridge means I never skip breakfast, which is half the work done on a busy day.

How I make it nicely

I use warm water instead of cold when soaking, which helps the oats soak more and turn really creamy overnight. Mix the oats, chia, honey and cinnamon well, leave it for at least eight hours, then mix in the curd and a little milk in the morning to loosen. Add the strawberries and seeds just before eating so they stay fresh and crunchy.

Make it your own

Change strawberry for banana, mango or any berry you have, and try flax or melon seeds for different crunch. Use plant curd and maple syrup to keep it vegan. If you like it sweeter, add a little more honey, and a spoon of peanut butter mixed in makes it richer and more filling.
