Prep strawberries. If you're using frozen strawberries, let them defrost overnight in the fridge or gently warm them on the stove with a splash of water. Then, blend the strawberries using an immersion blender or mash them up with a fork until saucy. Stir in the lemon juice.
1/2 cup strawberries
Add wet ingredients and mix. Pour in the milk of choice and liquid sweetener (like honey or maple syrup) into the blended or mashed strawberries. Stir or blend together and taste. Add more sweetener or lemon juice if needed.
2 tsp liquid sweetener, 1/4 cup milk of choice, 1/2 tsp lemon juice
Mix dry ingredients. In a bowl or jar, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Give it a quick stir to evenly distribute everything.
1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 tbsp chia seeds, Pinch of salt
Combine. Pour the strawberry mix into the bowl with dry ingredients. Stir everything thoroughly.
Refrigerate overnight. Cover your bowl or jar and pop it into the fridge. Let it sit for at least 6 hours—or overnight.
Top and eat. When you're ready to eat, take the oats out of the fridge, give them a good stir, and add any toppings you like.
