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 bowl, mix together the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and optionally, the vanilla protein powder to create your overnight oats mixture.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture appears too thick, add between 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to reach your desired consistency, then stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl and place it in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least two hours, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften, creating a creamy, ready-to-eat breakfast.
- Serve: Remove from the fridge in the morning, stir the oats well, and enjoy immediately. You may top with extra fresh strawberries or a drizzle of honey if desired.
Notes
- Use almond, soy, or oat milk as dairy-free alternatives.
- Adjust sweetness by adding honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute if needed.
- For thicker oats, reduce the milk slightly or add less water.
- These oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for quick grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Include protein powder to boost protein intake, especially post-workout.
