Tips & Substitutions
Whisk the cocoa into the dry oats first. That prevents clumps.
Save some strawberries. Add half just before eating so they stay fresh and bright.
Chocolate drizzle. ½ teaspoon of sugar free chocolate syrup adds about 5 calories.
Frozen strawberries work too. Thaw and dice them so the jar does not turn icy.
How to Make It More Filling
Stir in 1 teaspoon of chia seeds (about 20 calories) or add 1 tablespoon of chopped almonds on top (about 50 calories) for more crunch and staying power.
Storage
Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Strawberries release juice, which makes a pink and brown swirl. Stir before eating, and do not freeze.
