Ingredients

Overnight Oats Base

  • 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 milk, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, protein powder, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds ensuring everything is fully incorporated to form the overnight oats base.
  3. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the oat mixture to distribute the fruit evenly throughout.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and thicken into a creamy consistency.
  5. Serve: Before eating, stir the oats well to combine any separated ingredients and achieve a smooth texture.
  6. Add Toppings: Optionally, top with extra fresh strawberries, crushed graham crackers, or a drizzle of honey for additional flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute dairy milk with any plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk according to preference.
  • Adjust the sweetener amount based on your taste or use natural alternatives like maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • For a thicker consistency, increase the amount of chia seeds or use less milk.
  • This recipe is great for meal prepping and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for best flavor; frozen can be used but may alter texture.
