Can I eat these warm?

Absolutely! While they are designed to be cool and refreshing, you can pop them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. ♨️ This softens the oats further and makes it feel like 'instant' oatmeal, but way healthier. *Pro-Tip:* Add a splash of milk before heating so it doesn't dry out! 🥛

My oats are too thick/runny, what do I do?

Texture is personal! If it's too thick, simply stir in a splash of milk or water until it's perfect. If it's too runny, let it sit for another hour or stir in a teaspoon of chia seeds. *Pro-Tip:* I love mine thick like pudding, but my husband loves them looser—adjust until it makes *your* morning happy! ✨

Can I make this without protein powder?

Of course! You can replace the protein powder with an equal amount of oat flour or almond flour to keep the texture thick and creamy. 🥣 *Pro-Tip:* If you skip the powder, add a drop of vanilla extract or maple syrup to maintain that dessert-like flavor profile we love! 🍯

Do I really need chia seeds?

They aren't strictly necessary for flavor, but they are the secret to that thick, pudding-like consistency! 🍮 They act as a powerful binder. *Pro-Tip:* If you don't have them, try ground flaxseeds or just use slightly less liquid so your oats aren't runny. ✨

A chocolate covered strawberry in a bowl! 🍓🍫 Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Oats. Rich cocoa base, creamy strawberry cheesecake filling, and a hard chocolate shell. It is romantic, decadent, and delicious! ❤️ Breaking through that chocolate shell is the best part of the morning. Inside, you find a creamy, fruity surprise that tastes like pure indulgence. It is a little act of love you can do for yourself, transforming a mundane weekday into something to celebrate. 🎁

SOMMELIER NOTES

"Strawberries contain volatile aromatic compounds called esters that are perceived as 'sweeter' when paired with vanilla or chocolate. The cream cheese adds fat to carry these fruit flavors more effectively to the taste buds. The chocolate shell provides a hard textural contrast to the soft filling, mimicking the experience of biting into a truffle. This cracking sound actually enhances taste perception."

Vitamin C

Strawberries are excellent for immune health, packing a huge vitamin C punch. Unlike supplements, the vitamin C in whole fruit comes with fiber and other phytonutrients that help your body absorb and utilize it more effectively.

The Prep Secret

Store the jars in an airtight container. The cold air of the fridge can dry out the berries if they are exposed. The chocolate shell acts as a natural seal, but a lid is double insurance.

The Vegan Upgrade

Cashew based cream cheese works surprisingly well here. Its naturally sweet, nutty profile complements the chocolate perfectly. Just make sure to blend it until completely smooth to avoid any gritty texture in your cheesecake layer.

Frequently Asked Questions

These stay fresh and delicious for up to 4-5 days in an airtight container! 📅 The oats actually get creamier the longer they sit as they absorb more liquid. *Pro-Tip:* If I'm prepping for the whole week, I like to add fresh fruit or crunchy toppings right before eating so they keep their snap! 🍓
