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.
Pour the oats into the bowl and mix until all the oats are covered in the mixture. The mixture should be loose before refrigeration, but not soupy. Keep in mind that it will thicken considerably as the oats and chia seeds absorb the liquid.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, stir well, and then add additional milk a few tablespoons at a time if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Give the oats a really good stir and divide into two separate mason jars or airtight storage containers.
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

The type of milk you use will affect the consistency. Use 2 cups when making these oats with almond milk or water. These liquids do not thicken the pudding mix as much, and using 2½ cups may result in thinner oats with a less concentrated cheesecake flavor.
When using cow’s milk or a high-protein dairy milk, you may need closer to 2½ cups because dairy milk allows the pudding mix to thicken more. Start with the recommended amount and stir in additional milk after refrigeration as needed. Add about 1/2-1 tablespoon more pudding mix for additional flavor.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
