# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine strawberries and maple syrup. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring and mashing the berries until they break down. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and chia seeds. Let cool and thicken for 10 minutes.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
03 - Divide half of the oat mixture between two jars or containers with lids.
04 - Spoon a generous layer of the cooled strawberry jam over the oats in each jar.
05 - Top with the remaining oat mixture, then finish with another swirl of strawberry jam.
06 - Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours) for best texture.
07 - Before serving, add desired toppings such as sliced strawberries, a drizzle of peanut butter, or crushed peanuts.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes like dessert but fuels you through the morning with serious protein and fiber.
  • The layers look impressive in a jar, like you tried way harder than you actually did.
02 -
  • Let the jam cool completely before layering it, or it will make the oats watery and ruin the texture.
  • If your oats seem too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen them up.
03 -
  • Stir the peanut butter into warm almond milk before adding it to the oats, it blends in way easier.
  • Make a double batch of the strawberry jam and keep it in the fridge, it's amazing on toast too.
