Place rolled oats, steel cut oats, salt and protein powder (if using) in a medium sauce pot.
Combine the milk, water and 2 cups chopped strawberries in a blender and blend until smooth.
Pour the liquid mixture into the sauce pot.
Add the chia seeds (if using) and vanilla and stir to combine.
Cook oats, stirring frequently over medium heat until thickened, about 10-15 minutes.
Once thickened, gently stir in remaining 1/2 cup diced strawberries and serve.
Top with favorite oatmeal toppings like nut butter, chopped nuts, maple syrup, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, etc.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
*If you don't have steel cut oats, you can use all rolled oats. The steel cut oats give a little bit of texture to the oatmeal as they're chewier than rolled oats. Use 1 1/2 cups total of rolled oats if omitting steel cut oats.**Chia seeds are optional but help make the oatmeal creamier and thicken faster. Plus, they add a nice omega-3 nutritional boost.***Add for an extra protein boost. I prefer the taste of the listed protein but you may choose another protein powder type of your liking.
