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 a sealable container, add the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and if using, the vanilla protein powder.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients well to ensure they are evenly distributed. If the mixture feels too thick, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to loosen it up.
- Chill Overnight: Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least two hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, give the oats a good stir and enjoy your creamy, fruity, and nutritious overnight oats straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture; quick oats may become too mushy.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- If you prefer sweeter oats, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup before refrigerating.
- Adding protein powder boosts the nutritional value and makes it more filling.
- Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor, but frozen berries work well too and can be thawed before mixing.
