Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- Optional: 1/4-1/2 cup water (if mixture is very thick)
Mix-ins
- 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3/4 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a pint-sized mason jar, add the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and if desired, a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Mix all ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it sit overnight or for a minimum of two hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquids and soften.
- Adjust Consistency: Before serving, check the texture. If the mixture is too thick, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water until your preferred consistency is reached.
- Serve and Enjoy: Eat the strawberries and cream overnight oats straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Enjoy a quick, nutritious, and delicious start to your morning.
Notes
- You can use any milk of your choice, such as dairy, almond, soy, or oat milk, depending on dietary preferences.
- Fresh or frozen strawberries both work; frozen strawberries will slightly thaw and sweeten the mixture overnight.
- Adding vanilla protein powder boosts protein content, making it ideal for a post-workout meal.
- Adjust the water quantity to customize the oat mixture thickness to your liking.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
