Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened

Protein and Flavorings

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (halal-friendly)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1–2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (to taste)
  • ¼ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Fruit

  • ½ cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Mix wet ingredients and protein: In a bowl or jar, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, vanilla protein powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats and chia seeds carefully, ensuring they are fully combined with the wet mixture for even texture and flavor absorption.
  3. Fold in strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the oat mixture, distributing the fruit evenly without breaking it down too much.
  4. Refrigerate overnight: Cover the bowl or jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and create a thick, creamy consistency.
  5. Stir before serving: Before eating, stir the oats well to redistribute the ingredients and improve texture.
  6. Add toppings (optional): Enhance the flavor and presentation by adding extra strawberries, crushed graham crackers, or a drizzle of honey on top as desired.

Notes

  • Use any milk of choice including dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk.
  • For a vegan option, replace Greek yogurt and cream cheese with plant-based alternatives and select a vegan protein powder.
  • Sweetness can be adjusted according to taste by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
  • Can be prepared in individual jars for convenient, portable breakfasts.
  • Consume within 2-3 days for maximum freshness and flavor.
