Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Oatmeal Attempt

I decided that I wanted to have a quick overnight oatmeal recipe, many of them that I had seen that looked amazing were 10 minutes prep. Although that too is rather quick, I wanted just a few ingredients and still yummy taste.

For my next adventure I tried a strawberry chocolate recipe: http://rachlmansfield.com/dark-chocolate-strawberry-overnight-oats/


For this recipe I used semi-sweet and since strawberries worked better in my measuring cup at a smaller size, I cut them smaller than the photo on the recipe shows. I also didn't have chia seeds but I used ground flax seed instead. 


 I didn't particularly like it much on first bite. I wanted something sweeter, so I prettied it up a tad.


I still don't like it much but it is edible. I think it's because I do not really like chunks of fruit in my food. I never really liked chunky yogurt and tend to eat around the fruit chunks. I also don't like the overnight fruit taste. I think it gets slimy and has a strange texture.

I realize not everyone has the same tastes as me, I am a picky eater after all. But maybe my blogging about my experiences will be something for others to look at. Although oats are inexpensive and the ingredients in most recipes are as well, it is still not good to waste food when you make it and you don't like it. So, if I can let others with similar tastes know what I felt, maybe I can save someone a few dollars and some time. Maybe someone else has other ideas to doctor these up a bit too!
