Ingredients
Scale
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 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 bowl, mix together the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and if using, the vanilla protein powder. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined for even flavor distribution.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture appears too thick, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water to reach your preferred consistency, and stir well to incorporate.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar or cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least two hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, give the oats a good stir and enjoy your ready-to-eat strawberries and cream overnight oats straight from the jar or transferred to a bowl.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries based on availability; frozen strawberries may release extra moisture.
- Try different milk options like almond or oat milk for varying flavor and dietary preferences.
- The optional protein powder adds extra nutrition and makes it perfect for a post-workout meal.
- Overnight oats can be prepared up to 3 days in advance for convenient meal prep.
- Add toppings like nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey before serving for extra texture and sweetness.
