Instructions

The afternoon or evening before you want to enjoy your oats, add the pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds to a blender or food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add the rolled oats and pulse 5-6 times break them down a bit. Add the pumpkin seed, hemp, and oat mixture to a bowl along with the salt, chia seeds, soy milk, and maple syrup. Stir well. If you want to, you can go ahead and divide your oats into 2 or 3 portions in jars. Cover and chill overnight.

Combine the halved/quartered strawberries with the lemon juice and sugar. Toss well, then cover and chill overnight along with the oats.

Serve the overnight oats with the macerated strawberries and a dollop of vegan yogurt if desired. These overnight oats are best if enjoyed within 3-4 days.

Notes

Based on the nutrition labels for the ingredients I used, if you divide this recipe into two larger servings, each one has 33g protein. If you divide it into 3 smaller servings, each one has 22g protein.
These oats are thick but if you prefer a thinner consistency, I recommend using 1 3/4 to 2 cups soy milk. Or, you can stir more milk in before you eat them to achieve your desired consistency.
Any berries can be subbed in place of the strawberries for equally delicious results!
