A quick and easy high-protein overnight oats recipe combining rolled oats, Greek yogurt, and fresh berries for a nourishing and delicious breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup (125g) Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk or milk alternative (almond milk preferred)
  • 1/2 cup (75g) fresh berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or mix)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional but recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine the oats and chia seeds in a mixing bowl or mason jar. Stir to mix evenly.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt and milk. Blend with a spoon or small whisk until smooth and creamy. Add more milk if too thick.
  3. Stir in honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Adjust sweetness to taste.
  4. Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  5. In the morning, gently stir the oats and top with fresh berries. Optionally, add nuts or seeds for crunch. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. Add fresh berries just before serving to avoid mushiness. Adjust liquid for preferred consistency. Sweeten before soaking or before eating depending on taste. Variations include adding peanut butter, protein powder, or using dairy-free yogurt and milk alternatives.
