They’re creamy, sweet, and satisfying — packed with whole grains, fresh strawberries, and a hint of vanilla — but still healthy and high in fiber and protein.
Here’s a super easy recipe (no cooking required!):
🍓 Strawberry Shortcake Overnight Oats
Ingredients (serves 1–2)
-
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
-
½ cup milk (any kind — dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
-
½ cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
-
1 tbsp chia seeds (optional, for thickness and extra fiber)
-
1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
½ cup fresh strawberries, chopped
-
1–2 tbsp crushed graham crackers or granola (for “shortcake” crunch)
Instructions
-
Mix it up:
In a jar or bowl, combine oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, honey, and vanilla. Stir well. -
Add strawberries:
Fold in the chopped strawberries (save a few for topping, if you like). -
Chill overnight:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. -
Serve:
In the morning, stir the oats, then top with more strawberries and crushed graham crackers (or granola) right before eating for that shortcake texture.
💡 Tips & Variations
-
Extra creamy: Add a spoonful of cottage cheese or protein powder to boost texture and protein.
-
Vegan: Use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.
-
Dessert twist: Add a dollop of whipped cream or drizzle of white chocolate on top.
-
Meal prep: Make multiple jars — they’ll last up to 4–5 days in the fridge.
Would you like me to give you a high-protein version (extra creamy and filling for workouts or busy mornings)?
