This raspberry overnight oats recipe is an easy meal prep breakfast made with rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder and raspberries. It takes about 5 minutes to prep, then the fridge does the rest while you sleep. Note - ingredients can be approximate.
Add 1 cup rolled oats, 2 tbsp chia seeds, ¼ cup Greek yogurt and ¼ cup protein powder to a container or individual jars.
Pour over 2 cups milk, then mix well until everything is combined. If using jars, seal with the lid and shake until there are no dry patches of oats or protein powder.
If using frozen raspberries, you can mix ½ cup raspberries through now so they soften overnight. If using fresh raspberries, add them just before eating so they don’t go soggy in the liquid.
Seal the container or jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. The oats will thicken as they sit.
Before eating, stir well and add a splash of extra milk if the oats are thicker than you like. Top with raspberries and serve.
Notes
Note 1 - Rolled oatsRolled oats work best because they soften overnight while still keeping some texture. Quick oats can become mushy, and steel-cut oats won’t soften enough with this method.Note 2 - Chia seedsChia seeds help thicken the oats and give them a better texture by morning. You can use ground flaxseed instead, but the texture will be slightly softer and less pudding-like.Note 3 - Greek yogurtGreek yogurt makes the oats creamier and adds extra protein. You can use plain, vanilla, raspberry or mixed berry yogurt, but thinner yogurts may need a little less milk or extra chia seeds.Note 4 - MilkUse dairy milk, soy milk or barista-style oat milk for a creamier texture. Almond milk or water will work, but the oats will be less creamy.Note 5 - Protein powderProtein powder can thicken the oats differently depending on the type and brand. If the mixture is too thick in the morning, stir through a splash of milk before eating.StorageStore raspberry overnight oats in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.ReheatingThese are designed to be eaten cold, but you can microwave them with a splash of milk in 1-minute intervals until warmed through.
