Creamy Strawberry Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are a favorite breakfast here in the Fit Foodie kitchen. From vegan overnight oats to peanut butter overnight oats to more unique flavors like lemon cheesecake overnight oats, we love all flavors!
These strawberry overnight oats taste just like strawberry cheesecake because they’re thick and creamy all thanks to fresh strawberries, Greek yogurt, and honey.
So, take 10 minutes out of your day to prep these oats and have a nutritious, yet dessert-like breakfast in the morning!
What You Need
What I love about this overnight oats recipe is that even though they’re made with whole, healthy ingredients, they still taste like strawberry cheesecake overnight oats. Here’s what you need:
- Rolled Oats
- Fresh strawberries
- Unsweetened Almond Milk
- Greek Yogurt
- Honey
- Vanilla
- Graham Crackers (to get the full effect!)
Simple Instructions
- Process wet ingredients: add strawberries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla into a food processor or blender and process until the strawberries are pureed.
- Combine all ingredients: transfer the wet ingredients into a medium bowl or Tupperware and then add in the rest of the ingredients and mix.
- Let sit overnight: cover your container and transfer it into the refrigerator to sit overnight or for at least 2 hours.
- Eat: once the oats have soaked and thickened, enjoy! Feel free to add a splash of almond milk before serving, depending on how thick you like your oats.

Tips and Variations
Let sit overnight: overnight oats thicken as they sit. While you can wait just 2 hours before eating, we recommend letting them sit overnight so that they get soft and thick.
Swap the berries: not a strawberry fan? Swap the berries for blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries!
Add more milk: depending on how thick you like your overnight oats, you can add a splash of milk before serving.
Choose your toppings: make these your very own oats by choosing your own toppings. We went with crushed graham crackers, strawberry jam, and honey, but the following would be delicious:
- Peanut butter
- Chia seeds
- Granola

These are amazing! I am eating on repeat!
So happy to hear it, Molly!
SO GOOD!! And super simple. I used cherries since I tend to be allergic to strawberries. I literally couldn’t wait for breakfast the next morning. Topped with dried fruit, extra chia seeds, and mini dark chocolate chips. Because why not.
Ohhhh yum!
The liquid to dry content is way off as well. I ended up adding another 1/2 cup of oats to the strawberry soup I made in the blender, but it was still way too fluid.
I wouldn’t classify the taste as “exactly” like strawberry cheesecake. It’s pretty good. Reminds me more of an artificially flavored strawberry milkshake. I would assume the honey is giving that artificial taste. For a more natural strawberry taste, I’d recommend mixing some sugar and letting them rest in the fridge for a couple hours (like when you make strawberry shortcake).
Anyway, ok recipe. The taste is 4 star, but the ratio and overly liquid state of the final product is a 2.
Hi Chuck, So sorry to hear this was a 2 star recipe for you! It’s one of our tried and true Fit Foodie recipes, so hoping we can get to the bottom of why the liquid ratio in your overnight oats was off. Mind sharing if you made any modifications, used a different variety of oats or didn’t let the oats sit overnight (or at least 2 hours) to allow them to absorb the liquid? Thanks!
