Ingredients
Scale
Main 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, add the oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and if using, the vanilla protein powder. Mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to soak and thicken overnight or for at least two hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and flavors.
- Adjust Consistency: If the oats are too thick after resting, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to reach your desired consistency before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once well chilled and thickened, enjoy your creamy and flavorful strawberries and cream overnight oats straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with any dairy or non-dairy milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries depending on availability; both work well in this recipe.
- The protein powder is optional but adds extra nutrition and makes this meal more filling.
- Make several jars in advance for a quick grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
- Adjust the sweetness by using flavored yogurt or adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
