Notes
Meal Prep Tips
You can make several jars of oats ahead of time, and keep them in the refrigerator, well covered, for up to 3 days before serving. In addition, you can make the strawberry compote ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator, and heat it up in the microwave before serving.
Make it Low FODMAP:
According to the Monash app (as of 2/24/25), coconut yogurt is low in FODMAPs; however, always read labels, as ingredients may change, and brands may have other FODMAP ingredients.
Alternatively to coconut yogurt, you can also use lactose-free yogurt (e.g., Green Valley or Siggi's) mixed with unsweetened cocoa powder and add additional sweetener if desired.
Also, use a low FODMAP serving of strawberries (5 medium) or swap with 1 cup of blueberries.
Additional Topping Ideas:
Mini chocolate chips, unsweetened shredded coconut, sliced bananas, nuts, seeds, peanut butter, or almond butter.
