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, mix together the oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and if desired, the vanilla protein powder until well combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar and refrigerate the mixture overnight or for at least two hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve: After chilling, give the oats a stir and enjoy your creamy, strawberry-flavored overnight oats directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
Notes
- Adjust the consistency by adding 1/4 to 1/2 cup water if the mixture is too thick before refrigerating.
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries depending on availability; frozen fruit will also help chill the oats.
- For a vegan version, substitute milk and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives like almond milk and coconut yogurt.
- Adding protein powder is optional but boosts the protein content, ideal for a more filling breakfast.
- Overnight oats keep well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
