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: 1/4-1/2 cup water if mixture is very thick
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a pint-sized mason jar or bowl, mix together the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and if desired, the vanilla protein powder until fully combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to soak for at least two hours, but preferably overnight, to let the oats absorb the liquid and soften.
- Adjust Consistency: Before serving, if the mixture is too thick, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to reach your preferred consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stir the overnight oats one more time and enjoy a creamy, strawberry-flavored breakfast straight from the jar or bowl.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats as they absorb liquid well and soften nicely overnight without becoming mushy.
- Try substituting milk with your favorite plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- Chia seeds help thicken the mixture and add nutritional benefits; you can omit them if desired but texture will be thinner.
- Add fresh strawberries in the morning for a fresher taste and appearance.
- Vanilla protein powder is optional but adds extra protein and flavor.
- Adjust sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey or maple syrup if desired.
