Ingredients
Overnight Oats Mixture

- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1 pinch salt
Toppings

Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, salt, chopped strawberries, and maple syrup. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined to create the oat mixture.
- Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl or divide the mixture into individual containers. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
