# What You'll Need:

→ Oats Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup milk, dairy or unsweetened plant-based
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
05 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
06 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# Directions:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and creamy.
02 - In a separate small bowl, toss diced strawberries with fresh lemon juice and maple syrup, allowing the berries to release their juices.
