- 2/3 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

Instructions
- In a mason jar or container, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until fully mixed.
- In a small bowl, mash most of the strawberries with lemon juice and sweetener, leaving some chunks for texture.
- In another bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth.
- Layer half of the oat mixture in the jar, followed by half of the strawberry mixture and half of the cheesecake mixture.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with the cheesecake mixture on top.
- Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top with fresh strawberry slices or optional graham cracker crumbs.
Notes
- If the oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk.
- For a lower sugar option, reduce sweetener and rely on ripe strawberries.
- For dairy-free, use plant-based yogurt and dairy-free cream cheese.
- Store in the refrigerator up to 4 days for easy meal prep.
- Can be enjoyed cold or warmed for 30-45 seconds in the microwave.
