- Unsweetened Almond Milk
- Greek Yogurt
- Honey
- Vanilla
- Graham Crackers

This recipe is unique in that you get to whip out that food processor of yours. I’ve said this about 101 times on the blog, but GET A GOOD FOOD PROCESSOR. I love love love my Ninja
because the blades are super sharp and it’s extremely powerful. If I could only choose one small kitchen appliance to take with me to a deserted island (that had electricity), it would be my food processor. It’s seriously THE BEST.
So, all you have to do for this recipe is put the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and strawberries into your food processor and puree. Then, you mix in the rest of the ingredients and into the fridge it goes to soak!
Easy peasy and absolutely DELISH.
The overnight oats come out super thick and a little tangy just like your favorite strawberry cheesecake, BUT WITHOUT ALL THE BAD STUFF. The pureed strawberries give every single bite a fresh flavor that will have you coming back for round two.
Confession: I always sneak a bite or two of this after dinner. #sorrynotsorry

Nice and filling. I used low fat natural yogurt which I think made it different and I will use more honey to make it a bit sweeter.

I was not an oatmeal fan. then thinking over night in refrigerator! so it took me months to try found the one with unsweetened cocoa powder and bam ! at Christmas I add a splash of peppermint mocha coffee creamer! tis the season after all!So now I love mixing up flavors and I find if I tell friends it overnight soft creamy yummy oats they accept the idea better lol.
Can you use regular milk if you do not have almond milk on hand??
[…] I found the original recipe over at Fit Food Finds. […]
How is this different from the creamy strawberry vanilla recipe? Seems to use the same ingredients, except for the graham cracker and jam toppings but the creamy strawberry is more calories. I can’t see why.
I really want to make this, it sounds delicious. But how can I alter this recipe with steel cut oats?
Unfortunately steel cut oats are not the best for overnight oats!
This was the best thing I’ve ever put in my mouth I think.
LOL. Girl I feel you.
Can you use steel oats instead of rolled oats?
Hey Cheryl, unfortunately steel cut oats don’t soak like rolled oats do!
Can you use or has anyone ever used regular milk or cocnut milk. My daughter is alergic to tree nuts and peanuts.
Any kind of milk will work!
Can I use regular milk instead of almond milk?

Has anyone tried them with strawberries that were thawed? Just curious if it tastes the same from frozen strawberries.
My theory is that if you don’t like dessert for breakfast, then something is wrong with you. Seriously wrong with you. So I wouldn’t understand ANYBODY who would resist overnight oats that taste like cake, let alone cheesecake, plus with nutritious ingredients that are so good for you!
SERIOUSLY. I am such a sweet breakfast girl, too!
Love the idea of pureeing everything! Will give this a whirl son since I’m getting my food processor soon yay!
OMG GET A FOOD PROCESSOR ALREADY!!!!
Oh hello love of my life.
Strawberries are by far my favorite berry! I just wish they wouldn’t go bad on me so fast. 🙁
RIGHT!? The trick is to only wash the strawberries when you are ready to eat them. If you wash the whole carton, you start the decaying process! So, just remember that for next time and hopefully they will last longer for you!
