- ¼ cup milk of choice, such as regular cow’s milk, almond milk, oat milk or coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 small strawberries
- 6 pecans, chopped
- optional: 2 teaspoons mini chocolate chips, flaked coconut for garnish
Instructions
- Mix the oats, hemp seeds, salt and cocoa powder together in a medium bowl. Stir in the yogurt, milk, honey and vanilla until combined, then stir in the strawberries and chopped pecans.
