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 using, the vanilla protein powder. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture seems too thick, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to achieve your preferred consistency, then stir again.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator for at least two hours, but preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soak and absorb the liquids, softening the oats and thickening the mixture.
- Serve Chilled: After soaking, give the oats a good stir before eating. Enjoy directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl. You may add extra diced strawberries or a drizzle of honey if desired for additional sweetness.
Notes
- You can use any type of milk including dairy or plant-based alternatives to suit dietary preferences.
- Using frozen strawberries is fine; they will thaw overnight and add natural sweetness.
- The optional protein powder boosts the nutritional profile, making it a great option for a post-workout meal.
- Adjust the thickness by adding water or more milk depending on your texture preference.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them perfect for meal prepping.
