Ingredients

▢ 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
▢ 1 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based milk)
▢ 1 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (high-protein variety)
▢ 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder about 12–15 g
▢ 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional, for thickness and extra protein)
▢ 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup adjust to taste
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ 1 cup diced fresh strawberries plus extra for topping
▢ 2 tablespoons cream or half-and-half optional, for extra richness

Instructions

In a medium bowl or jar, combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Adjust ingredients to taste, and if too thick, stir in more milk of choice.

Kori's Tips

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes check out my post above.

TIPS: Use a protein powder that blends smoothly to prevent grittiness. If the oats seem thick after chilling, stir in an extra splash of milk before serving. Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor, but thawed frozen ones work in a pinch.

VARIATIONS: Replace strawberries with blueberries, raspberries, or a berry mix. Add 1 tablespoon nut butter for extra creaminess. For a tropical spin, swap the milk for coconut milk and strawberries for mango.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Enjoy straight from the fridge for a cool, refreshing breakfast or warm in the microwave for 30–60 seconds. Top with sliced almonds, granola, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added texture and creaminess.
