Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (375 ml) old-fashioned oats
- 1.5 cups (375 ml) milk
- 1 cup (240 ml) strawberry Greek yogurt
Fruit and Seeds:
- 0.75 cup (180 ml) diced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) chia seeds
Optional Add-ins:
- 0.25 to 0.5 cup (60 to 120 ml) water
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- In a clean mason jar, layer rolled oats, whole milk (or 240 milliliters), strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and freshly diced strawberries to create a vibrant breakfast base.
- Gently stir all ingredients with a long spoon, ensuring even distribution and complete integration of textures and flavors.
- Optional: Incorporate vanilla protein powder for an additional protein boost and enhanced sweetness.
- If the mixture appears too thick, gradually add water (30 to 45 milliliters) to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Securely fasten the jar’s lid to prevent any potential leakage or contamination.
- Place the prepared jar in the refrigerator and allow the oats to soak and soften for a minimum of 2 hours, though overnight preparation yields the most optimal texture and flavor development.
- When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator, give a quick stir, and enjoy the chilled, creamy breakfast directly from the jar or transfer to a serving bowl.
Notes
- Overnight chilling transforms basic ingredients into a creamy, dreamy breakfast experience.

- Fresh strawberries bring natural sweetness and vibrant color to the oatmeal mixture.
