Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- Optional: 1/4-1/2 cup water (if mixture is very thick)
Flavor and Texture Enhancers
- 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3/4 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a pint-sized mason jar, combine 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 mixed.
- Refrigerate: Seal the jar and place it in the refrigerator. For the best texture and flavor, let the mixture sit overnight or for at least two hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve: After refrigeration, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a little water or milk to reach your desired consistency. Enjoy the oats cold or heat briefly if preferred.
Notes
- You can adjust the thickness by adding more water or milk as needed before serving.
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries depending on availability; frozen strawberries will slightly chill the oats more.
- Adding protein powder makes this recipe suitable for a post-workout meal.
- Overnight oats can be prepared up to 2 days in advance for convenience.
