How to choose fresh and delicious strawberries
- You should choose strawberries that are bright red, evenly colored, plump, with a fresh green stem that is tightly attached to the fruit; the further the stem is from the fruit, the sweeter it will be.
- In addition, sweet and delicious strawberries often have a considerable distance between the seeds and particularly have a characteristic fragrant smell.
- Avoid choosing strawberries that are bruised, dark red, with many black spots on the fruit, and with a wilted stem, as these are spoiled strawberries.
- Moreover, do not select strawberries that have mottled colors, with green and red mixed together, as they may not be ripe, taste quite sour, and contain little juice.

What is overnight oats?
- Besides granola, overnight oats is also one of the popular dishes among Americans in particular, and some Western countries in general. In fact, overnight oats is gradually becoming familiar to busy Vietnamese people today.
- Overnight oats is a mixture of food that includes oats (soaked overnight) combined with fresh milk, yogurt, and added with various nutritious seeds and fruits (either fresh or dried).
- This dish provides a lot of nutrition, as it offers a full amount of fiber, carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats for the consumers’ health.
- Overnight oats looks very appealing due to the colors of the fruits and nutritious seeds along with its creamy, chewy texture, which will surely provide a delicious and unique taste when you have the chance to enjoy it.
Tips and notes when making overnight oats
To ensure that overnight oats provide optimal nutritional value when consumed, TasteVN suggests some tips as follows:
Change the flavor with nut milk
Instead of using fresh milk (from animals), you can use nut milk (such as almond milk, walnut milk, cashew milk, etc.) to avoid gaining weight, during a vegetarian diet, or simply to absorb more nutrients from plant milk than from animal milk.
- You should use fresh milk or low-sugar nut milk, or preferably no sugar at all, because overnight oats often have other sweetening ingredients like honey and various fruits.
- Overnight oats should be stored in a sealed food container when placed in the refrigerator, to help keep the ingredients fresh and free from contamination before consumption.
- It is advisable to make just enough overnight oats to eat, avoiding making a large batch to store for many days in the refrigerator, as the fruits may turn brown or lose their freshness. Therefore, consume overnight oats within about 2 days.
Using unsweetened yogurt
Depending on each person’s taste, you can choose yogurt with a certain level of sweetness, but TasteVN recommends you use unsweetened yogurt. If possible, use Greek yogurt, as it provides more protein, carbohydrates, and a source of healthy fats.
You can still use overnight oats in cold weather
Overnight oats taste better after being chilled. However, for some people who want to avoid tooth sensitivity when eating cold foods, or when the weather gets cold, it is possible to make overnight oats “cooler,” but also avoid heating them too much, as the yogurt component in the dish will deteriorate and no longer be as healthy as initially intended.
How to choose fruits for overnight oats
How to choose fresh kiwi
- You should choose kiwi with smooth skin, round shape, slightly curved, and a moderate size, not too big or too small.
- Additionally, choose fruits with a soft stem end as this indicates the kiwi is ripe and will contain more nutrients.
- Do not choose kiwi that is scratched, bruised, with a soft or hard stem end, as it may indicate that the kiwi is spoiled or unripe.
How to choose delicious ripe bananas
- Fresh and delicious bananas usually have a dark yellow color, with a few tiny black spots, feel quite soft to the touch, and have a distinctive fragrant smell.
- In addition, if buying a whole bunch, you should choose those that have both ripe and green fruits, as these are naturally ripened bananas.
- Avoid selecting beautiful yellow ripe fruits but still have green stems, as biting into them may feel bitter in the throat, which could indicate that these bananas have been artificially ripened or treated with chemicals.
- Do not choose bruised, scratched fruits or those with many insect bite marks, and feel mushy when touched.
