A creamy, make-ahead breakfast that captures the fresh flavor of ripe strawberries. Packed with protein from vanilla protein powder and chia seeds, it's a satisfying and convenient way to start your day. Simple to prepare the night before for a calm, delicious morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice
  • 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a 16-ounce jar or sealable container, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir with a fork to mix evenly.
  2. Pour in the milk, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until no dry pockets of powder remain and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Gently fold in about two-thirds of the chopped strawberries, reserving the rest for the top.
  4. Scatter the remaining strawberries over the surface. Seal the jar with a lid or press plastic wrap directly onto the oat mixture.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight. Stir before eating. Add a splash of milk if a looser consistency is desired.

Notes

For best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats. Ensure the protein powder is fully incorporated to avoid clumps. Oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. For a blended, mousse-like version, blend all ingredients (except strawberry topping) until smooth before refrigerating.
