03 - 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds

08 - 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
09 - 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
10 - 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
11 - 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Strawberry Layer

12 - 1.5 cups fresh strawberries, diced
13 - 2 teaspoons lemon juice
14 - 1-2 teaspoons sugar (optional)

→ Toppings

15 - Crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits (optional)
16 - Sliced fresh strawberries (optional)
17 - Additional yogurt or cream cheese dollops (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until well incorporated.
02 - In a separate medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture reaches a creamy consistency.
03 - In another bowl, combine diced strawberries with lemon juice and sugar if desired. Toss gently to coat evenly.
04 - Distribute one-quarter of the oat mixture into the bottom of each mason jar. Layer with strawberry mixture, then cheesecake mixture. Repeat layering if jar height permits, finishing with strawberries on top.
05 - Seal jars with lids and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and oats to absorb liquid.
06 - Before serving, add optional toppings such as crushed graham crackers, fresh strawberry slices, or an additional dollop of yogurt or cream cheese.
