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 or container, mix together the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and if desired, vanilla protein powder.
- Refrigerate: Seal the container and let the mixture sit in the refrigerator overnight or for at least two hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquids.
- Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, give the oats a good stir and enjoy your creamy strawberries and cream overnight oats straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture; quick oats may become mushy.
- If the mixture is too thick in the morning, add a splash of milk or water to loosen it up.
- Fresh or frozen strawberries both work well; if using frozen, there’s no need to thaw before mixing.
- You can customize sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Protein powder is optional but adds a protein boost for a more filling breakfast.
- Store the overnight oats tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
