# Components:
→ Oats Base
01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1½ cups unsweetened almond milk
03 - ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approximately 30 g)
05 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
06 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
07 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - Pinch of salt
→ Peanut Butter Layer
09 - 3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
→ Strawberry Jam Swirl
10 - 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, diced
11 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds
12 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
13 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
# Directions:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
02 - Place strawberries and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until berries soften and release their juices. Lightly mash with a fork to achieve a chunky compote consistency. Remove from heat, stir in chia seeds and lemon juice, then allow to cool and thicken.
03 - Divide the oat mixture evenly between two jars or containers, filling each halfway. Layer approximately 1½ tablespoons of peanut butter into each jar, then top with the remaining oat mixture divided equally.
04 - Swirl 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled strawberry compote onto the surface of each jar, creating visual appeal.
05 - Seal containers with lids and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to absorb liquid and flavors to meld.
06 - In the morning, stir gently if desired to combine layers. Top with additional fresh strawberries or crushed peanuts before consuming. Enjoy chilled, or briefly microwave if warm oats are preferred.
