Add strawberries to the bottom of a small candy jar.

Add any desired add-ins like chia seeds, hemp seeds, or ground flax at this stage.

Pour unsweetened vanilla almond milk over the oats until the jar is filled appropriately.

Add about half a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the jar.

Insert a spoon into the jar to ensure the oats at the bottom absorb some liquid.

Seal the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator overnight.

In the morning, the oats will have absorbed the liquid and can be eaten cold or microwaved for 30 seconds to a minute for a warm option.
