Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3/4 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
Optional Ingredients
- 1/4–1/2 cup water (if mixture is very thick)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a pint-sized mason jar, mix together the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and protein powder if using. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak overnight or for at least two hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick after soaking, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to reach desired consistency before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy the overnight oats cold straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Optionally, add more fresh strawberries or your favorite toppings as desired.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture; quick oats can become too mushy.
- The recipe can be customized with your favorite type of milk, such as almond, oat, or dairy milk.
- Adding chia seeds boosts fiber and omega-3 content while helping thicken the oats.
- Strawberry Greek yogurt adds protein and natural sweetness; plain Greek yogurt can be used with added sweetener if preferred.
- This recipe is gluten-free if oats are certified gluten-free.
- Prepare multiple jars in advance for an easy grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
