These healthy strawberry cheesecake overnight oats are a deliciously sweet start to the da y- using vanilla and yogurt for the rich cheesecake flavour, these healthy oats are sure to be a recipe you return to!
Mix the rolled oats with the chia seeds, adding the milk and sweetener ( syrup of your choice) and stir well.
Set aside to soak for at least 30 minutes for the quick soak method ( I talk about this more in the post) or, for best results, keep in the fridge overnight.*
Prepare the yogurt layer
Open one vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds.
Add them to the yogurt and stir well.
Prepare the strawberry layer
Mash the strawberries well using a fork or a blender. If you opt to use frozen berries, let them thaw out a bit before mashing them. Optional - add a very tiny bit of sweetener to this mix if you have a sweet tooth!
Assemble
Slice one strawberry into very thin slices to decorate your breakfast jars. If the strawberry slices are not sticking to the glass, you can use a bit of syrup to help them.
Layer the strawberry mash with the vanilla yogurt, then top with the overnight oats. Sprinkle some shredded almonds and add a couple of strawberries on top. Enjoy this beautiful and delicious breakfast.

* You can combine all the layers in your containers and leave to soak overnight or simply compile the 2 top layers when you are ready to serve
