Strawberry Overnight Oats
A quick, easy and healthy strawberry overnight oats recipe!
These strawberry overnight oats are a great meal prep idea for healthy weeknight breakfasts. Not only are they quick and easy to make but they are packed full of protein and fibre to create a well-balanced meal.
As soon as the warm weather beings I trade in my warm bowl of oatmeal for overnight oats. While they are essentially the same thing, cold overnight oats are just so much more appealing when the temperature starts to rise and I no longer feel like turning on the stove. Plus, nothing quite says summer than fresh seasonal berries, which is what makes these strawberry overnight oats the perfect summer breakfast.
How to Make Strawberry Overnight Oats
- To begin, add rolled oats or quick-cooking oats to a jar.
- Cover the oats with milk and regular or Greek yogurt and stir to combine.
- Add a splash of vanilla, a drizzle of honey and a pinch of salt and stir again until well combined.
- Add the diced strawberries and mix until well incorporated.
- Cover the jar with a lid and transfer the oats to the fridge overnight.
- In the morning, remove the lid, give the oats a good stir, add additional toppings as needed, and serve!
Once prepared, the oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days before serving, which makes them a great meal prep idea for a week’s worth of healthy breakfast.
Can Frozen Strawberries be used in Overnight Oats?
You can use fresh or frozen strawberries in overnight oats. While frozen strawberries will create a slightly runnier texture, given the additional liquid that is released as the berries thaw, either option will work well in these strawberry overnight oats.
Strawberry Overnight Oats with Yogurt
If you’re making these overnight oats several days ahead of time, I suggest making them in a jar or container with a lid to preserve the freshness of the berries and the texture of the oats. If you’re in a pinch and making them in the morning, be sure to use quick-cooking oats as they absorb the liquid much quicker and soften much faster than rolled oats and can, therefore, be ready to eat in an hour or so as opposed to requiring a night in the fridge.

I wanted to give this recipe a 5 but if I could, I would give it a 4.5! It was very delicious, easy to make and I have meal prepped for upcoming breakfasts! This was my first time having overnight oats with yogurt instead of milk, therefore it was a little more zingy but still sooo yummy!
