Ingredients

Scale

Oats and Liquids

  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 1/2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Optional: 1/4–1/2 cup water (if mixture is very thick)

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a pint-sized mason jar or a medium bowl, mix together the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and diced strawberries. If you prefer, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder for extra protein and mix well until fully combined.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture seems too thick, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to reach your desired consistency. The oats will absorb the liquid as they soak.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to soak overnight or for at least 2 hours. This resting time softens the oats and melds the flavors together.
  4. Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. You can enjoy them cold directly from the fridge or warm them up if you prefer a hot breakfast. Top with additional fresh strawberries or a drizzle of honey if desired.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned oats (rolled oats) for best texture; instant oats will become too mushy.
  • Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein; you can substitute with plant-based yogurt for a vegan option.
  • Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, making the meal more filling.
  • Adjust liquid amounts based on desired thickness.
  • Adding protein powder is optional but boosts protein content for a more balanced meal.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
