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 airtight container, add the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and if desired, the vanilla protein powder.
- Mix Well: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the oats and chia seeds are well distributed and the protein powder is fully incorporated if used.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or container tightly and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to soak for at least two hours, preferably overnight to let the oats soften and flavors meld.
- Adjust Consistency: Before serving, check the mixture; if it’s too thick, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to reach the desired creaminess.
- Serve and Enjoy: Eat directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Optionally, top with additional fresh strawberries or nuts for extra texture.
Notes
- Use any milk of choice—dairy or plant-based milk works well.
- Chia seeds add fiber and help thicken the oats but can be omitted if preferred.
- For a sweeter version, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- Protein powder boosts nutrition but is optional and can be omitted for a simpler breakfast.
- Overnight oats can be prepped several days in advance for meal prepping.
- Fresh strawberries can be swapped with frozen ones; just thaw before mixing.
