Ingredients
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 Additions
- 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3/4 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a pint-sized mason jar or container, mix together 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 incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar and place it in the refrigerator. Let the mixture soak overnight, or for at least two hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and flavors, resulting in a creamy texture.
- Adjust Consistency: If the oats seem too thick after soaking, stir in 1/4 to 1/2 cup water to reach your desired consistency.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the oats are set and creamy, enjoy your fresh and healthy Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl.

- For added sweetness, consider drizzling honey or maple syrup before serving.
