Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats with Yogurt

Mallory

These Strawberries and Cream Overnight Oats take plain overnight oats to a whole new level! Fiber-rich rolled oats are soaked in a delicious strawberry "milk" and adding Greek yogurt and chia seeds makes them SO creamy (+ adds protein & healthy fats 😊).

Equipment

1 blender or food processor
1 mason jar or container with lid

Ingredients

½ cup diced strawberries, divided (about 6-8 large strawberries)
½ cup rolled oats
½ tablespoon chia seeds
½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or your favorite milk)
¼ cup vanilla Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon maple syrup
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

In a mason jar, small bowl, or other container with a lid, mix together the rolled oatmeal and chia seeds.
Dice your strawberries. Combine half the strawberries and the wet ingredients including milk, yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth. This is your strawberry "milk".
Pour the strawberry milk over the oats and give it a good stir. Add the remaining strawberries. Cover and store in the fridge overnight or at least for 4 hours for best results. When ready to serve, add your favorite toppings.
Hint: It's common for some ingredients to settle at the bottom, especially the chia seeds. Be sure to give it a really good stir. Stir again about 30 minutes after they've been soaking.

Notes

Expert Tips

Use Rolled Oats (also called Old-Fashioned Oats) for best texture when soaked.For thicker oatmeal, add a bit less milk to the oat mixture.
I like to use a wide-mouth mason jar or even an empty peanut butter or almond butter jar for overnight oats.
If you like your overnight oats a bit thinner, add an extra splash of milk.

Storage

Refrigerator - store overnight oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Here are some options for containers to use for overnight oats: Wide Mouth Mason Jars, 16 oz works perfect, Overnight Oats Containers with Lids and Spoon

Dietitian Tip

These strawberry overnight oats hit several nutritional high points. Oats provide some plant-protein and Greek yogurt + chia seeds add more protein. Oats are also rich in fiber and help support gut health and hormone health. Strawberries provide vitamin C, magnesium, and folate!
