Start your day with these creamy, decadent white chocolate pudding overnight oats topped with berries and white chocolate chips! This recipe is so easy to meal prep for a nutritious, grab-and-go, well-balanced breakfast. {Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Friendly}
Due to the combination of Greek yogurt and milk, this recipe is higher in protein without any protein powder. I do like to add 1-2 scoops, though, for a filling, high protein breakfast.
This is my third overnight oats recipe with Jell-O pudding – so yes, I am a big fan. It adds flavor and a creamy thick consistency to overnight oats. Plus, it’s just fun to make different variations (and I often have boxes leftover in my pantry).
Why I Love These Overnight Oats:
- They’re so decadent and delicious! I truly love the flavor combination of tangy raspberries with the rich white chocolate. Add a dollop of whipped cream (or more) and these overnight oats feel like dessert, and I sometimes eat them as dessert, too!
- An already prepped breakfast in the fridge. Just 5 minutes of prep and you will have a healthy, delicious breakfast that’s portable and easy to grab-and-go.
- High protein and fiber. A breakfast that will help you reach a higher overall protein and fiber intake! Each serving has about 29 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber! Both nutrients increase feelings of fullness and satisfaction so you’re less likely to overindulge at your next meal or turn to convenience snacks.
- May improve the composition of your gut microbiome. I love using Greek yogurt in overnight oats because it contains live, active cultures to promote a more diverse gut microbiome. Many brands, like Chobani, list the probiotic strains on the label. It’s one of the very few probiotic foods available. The fiber from the chia seeds are considered prebiotics- which help to feed that good bacteria in our gut.

If you taste test the base mixture and it tastes gritty, this usually is unnoticeable after the whipped cream + raspberries + white chocolate chip toppings!

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make these dairy-free?
You can sub the Greek yogurt with a higher protein plant-based yogurt like Kite Hill. Another option is to use Lifeway vanilla flavored kefir in replace of Greek yogurt as it is 99% lactose-free and contains even more probiotics than yogurt. However, it does have less protein (add protein powder). You will need to decrease the amount of milk to about 1 1/2 cups.
Also, be sure to use dairy-free white chocolate chips and whipped cream!
Can I Use Instant or Steel-Cut Oats?
You can try it, but the texture will be different. Instant oats will provide a chewier texture and steel cut oats result in a tough consistency as well.
