Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla flavor (or preference of choice)
- 2 cups vanilla almond milk or water see notes for alternative.
- 2 scoops protein powder, vanilla or unflavored
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons Jell-O instant pudding mix, cheesecake flavor
- 1 cup chopped strawberries, fresh or thawed from frozen
- Cool whip or whipped cream, optional (but highly recommended)
Instructions
- Add yogurt, protein powder, pudding mix, milk, honey, and chia seeds to a bowl. Whisk until a smooth and cohesive consistency and the protein powder is mixed through. *See the process picture - the oats mixture should be loose and will thicken in the fridge. If it looks too thick, add more liquid (can adjust after refrigeration, too).
- Pour the oats into the bowl and mix until all the oats are covered in the mixture. If you are using frozen berries, add these with this step as well.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Give the oats a really good stir and divide into two separate mason jars or airtight storage containers. Add more milk or water to thin it out if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- When ready to eat, top with 1/2 cup of berries, chopped nuts, and any other toppings you like! Highly recommend thawing frozen berries (with extra juice) + dollop of cool whip or whipped cream.
Notes
- These overnight oats are thick, which is my preference. Add more milk after refrigeration if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Use a higher protein milk, like skim or Fairlife milk, to increase the protein content while omitting the protein powder. This may result in a thicker consistency and I have not tested this - may need closer to 2 1/2 cups of milk.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
