We Love Oatmeal!
You may not know this, but I eat oatmeal EVERY SINGLE MORNING (unless it’s the weekend). Oats + Banana + PB is my favorite combination.
During the warmer months, I like to mix it up and eat Overnight Oats, but soaking my oats in a liquid such as almond milk, Greek yogurt, etc.
For this creative overnight oats recipe, I decided to bring strawberries center stage and puree them with Greek yogurt and almond milk and then mixed that deliciousness with rolled oats.
Must-Have Ingredients for Overnight Oats
- Liquid (almond milk, milk, Kiefer, etc)
- Rolled Oats
- Chia Seeds
- Sweetener (maple syrup, honey, etc.)
I like to mix Greek yogurt and almond milk for my liquid. I have found that using rolled oats gives it a much better texture. Chia seeds make everything better and add a healthy dose of Omegas to your meal.
If you don’t use sweet almond milk or flavored yogurt, I suggested a few teaspoons of honey, but that’s just my preference!
Toppings Galore
I am a toppings girl. I love mixing textures. On top of this healthy breakfast, I added sliced banana, strawberries, and chopped pistachios. Feel free to top yours with any of your favorites such as:
- nuts
- seeds
- nut butter
- honey
- fresh fruit

I use ricotta instead of yogurt and frozen berries instead of fresh. Sometimes I add dried dates and/or tahini. Why? Because that’s what I have!
Do you first add it all to a blender? I love dates and frozen berries are more affordable. Lmk! I’m new to the overnight oats game 🙂
it was ok. not sweet enough, had to add a lot of honey on top.
Not sure how the calorie count of 321 is possible with this recipe considering just one cup of oatmeal alone is 300 calories… https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/raw-oats#nutrients
I was thinking the same and then saw it serves 3 😀
