A quick and easy overnight oats recipe featuring fresh strawberries, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds for a healthy, creamy breakfast that’s ready in under 10 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45 g) rolled oats
  • ½ cup (75 g) fresh strawberries, chopped
  • ½ cup (120 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup (60 g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine ½ cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds in a mixing bowl and stir well.
  2. Add ½ cup almond milk, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup if using. Mix until combined.
  3. Gently fold in ½ cup chopped fresh strawberries and 1 teaspoon lemon zest if desired.
  4. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or mason jar, seal tightly, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. The next morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk. Top with extra strawberries or nuts if desired and serve cold or let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes for a softer texture.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. Chia seeds help thicken and add fiber. Soak oats for at least 6 hours for optimal softness. Add milk after stirring if oats are too thick. For vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and honey with maple syrup. Store in fridge up to 3 days. Reheat gently if preferred warm.
