Description
A quick and creamy breakfast blending Greek yogurt, strawberries, and chia seeds for a rich, no-cook oatmeal. Chilling overnight develops flavor and a custard-like texture.
Ingredients
Old-fashioned oats 1 ½ cups (use gluten-free if needed)
Milk 1 ½ cups (dairy or plant-based)
Strawberry Greek yogurt 1 cup (plain yogurt with fresh strawberries works)
Chia seeds 2 tablespoons (ground flaxseed is a decent alternative)
Diced strawberries ¾ cup (frozen works—no need to thaw)
Vanilla protein powder 1 scoop (optional, omit for a lighter texture)
Instructions
Prepare Base: Combine 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats and 2 tablespoons chia seeds in a large mixing bowl
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in 1 ½ cups milk first, then stir thoroughly to coat oats and chia seeds evenly
Mix in Cream: Increase volume by adding 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt and ¾ cup diced strawberries. Blend until no dry spots remain
Chill Overnight: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for 8–12 hours (or overnight) for optimal texture development
Portion and Serve: Divide the chilled mixture into 4 serving bowls. Garnish with fresh strawberries or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired
Notes
Stir the mixture halfway through refrigeration to prevent uneven thickening
Frozen strawberries can be used without thawing; their juice blends naturally during chilling
For a nut-free version, substitute chia seeds with ground flaxseed (2 tablespoons)
