High Protein Strawberry Overnight Oats (Print Version)

Protein-packed overnight oats with strawberries and almond milk — make ahead for a quick, energizing breakfast.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Oats & Grains

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

→ Protein

02 - 2 scoops (about 50 g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder

→ Liquids

03 - 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
04 - 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)

→ Fruits

05 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

→ Flavorings

06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Toppings (optional)

07 - Sliced strawberries
08 - Chopped nuts or seeds
09 - A dollop of Greek yogurt

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, combine oats, protein powder, almond milk, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir until well mixed; ensure there are no clumps of protein powder.
02 - Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
03 - Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours).
04 - In the morning, stir the oats well. If desired, add a splash more almond milk for a looser consistency.
05 - Divide into bowls or jars. Top with additional strawberries, nuts, seeds, or a dollop of Greek yogurt as desired. Serve chilled.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • That creamy texture is even better than most cafe parfaits, but it comes together while you sleep.
  • With so much protein, you'll feel full and energized for hours, and you can even riff on flavors year-round.
02 -
  • If you skimp on stirring in the protein powder, you might find stubborn lumps hiding at the bottom.
  • Switching from rolled oats to quick oats makes the final texture less satisfying—definitely stick to rolled for that perfect bite.
03 -
  • Mix the dry ingredients first before adding milk to prevent stubborn clumps in the finished oats.
  • The riper the strawberries, the more they infuse the oats with flavor overnight—don’t be afraid to use those almost-too-soft berries.
