This Protein Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats recipe is a delicious and nutritious no-cook breakfast option that combines creamy Greek yogurt, protein powder, fresh strawberries, and chia seeds for a creamy, satisfying start to your day. The inclusion of cream cheese gives it a cheesecake-like richness, making it both indulgent and healthy.

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, 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 thoroughly until evenly incorporated into the wet mixture.
  3. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the oat mixture to distribute the fruit evenly without breaking it down too much.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and thicken to a creamy consistency.
  5. Serve: Before serving, stir the mixture well to blend any separated liquid back in for a creamy texture.
  6. Add Toppings: Enhance your overnight oats with optional toppings like extra fresh strawberries, crushed graham crackers, or an additional drizzle of honey for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • This recipe is versatile: use any milk preference including dairy or plant-based alternatives.
  • To make it vegan, substitute Greek yogurt and protein powder with plant-based versions and use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
  • Use fresh or frozen strawberries depending on availability; thaw frozen berries before mixing.
  • Protein powder inclusion makes it an ideal post-workout breakfast or snack.
