Overnight Oats Jars

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats, see note 1
2 tablespoon chia seeds, see note 2
¼ cup Greek yogurt, see note 3
2 cups milk, see note 4
¼ cup protein powder, 2 scoops, vanilla or berry
½ cup raspberries, fresh or frozen

Instructions

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 oats

Rolled 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 seeds

Chia 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 yogurt

Greek 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 - Milk

Use 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 powder

Protein 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.

Storage

Store raspberry overnight oats in an airtight container or jar in the fridge for up to 4–5 days.

Reheating

These are designed to be eaten cold, but you can microwave them with a splash of milk in 1-minute intervals until warmed through.
