A creamy and protein-packed overnight oats recipe featuring fresh strawberries and a smooth blend of cream cheese and Greek yogurt, perfect for a nutritious and delicious make-ahead breakfast.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (halal-friendly)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Fruit

  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl or jar, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, vanilla protein powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds, making sure they are fully combined with the wet mixture for even texture and flavor.
  3. Incorporate Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries to distribute the fruit evenly without bruising them.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, which allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken the mixture into a creamy consistency.
  5. Serve: Before eating, stir the oats well to mix any separated liquid and achieve a smooth texture.
  6. Add Toppings: Garnish with additional fresh strawberries, crushed graham crackers, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and crunch if desired.

Notes

  • The protein powder can be substituted with any preferred flavor or brand, but vanilla complements the strawberry flavor best.
  • Use dairy or plant-based milk according to dietary preference or restrictions.
  • Adjust the sweetness with honey or maple syrup to suit your taste.
  • This recipe is great for preparing the night before for a quick, grab-and-go breakfast.
  • Additional toppings such as nuts or seeds can boost the nutritional content and add texture.
