Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
- Optional: 1/4-1/2 cup water if mixture is very thick
Fruit
- 3/4 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a pint-sized mason jar, mix together the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and if using, the vanilla protein powder. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture sit overnight or for at least two hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and soften to a creamy texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, give the oats a good stir and enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk or water to loosen it to your desired consistency.
Notes
- You can substitute the strawberry Greek yogurt with plain or vanilla Greek yogurt and add fresh strawberries for similar flavor.
- Adjust the liquid (milk and water) quantity depending on your preferred thickness.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based yogurt and milk alternatives.
- Adding vanilla protein powder boosts protein content for a more filling breakfast.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
