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 Ingredients
- 1/4-1/2 cup water if mixture is very thick
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a pint-sized mason jar or a suitable container, mix together the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and optional vanilla protein powder if desired.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to achieve your preferred consistency and stir well.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and soften.
- Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, give the oats a good stir and enjoy your creamy, fruity overnight oats cold directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture; instant oats may become mushy.
- Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add nutritional benefits like fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Customize sweetness and flavor by adding honey, maple syrup, or fresh mint if desired.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, increase the milk or water amount accordingly.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for meal prep convenience.
