Strawberry Peach Overnight Oats
This delightful creation combines the sweet flavors of strawberries and peaches with the creamy texture of whole grain oats soaked in Greek yogurt.
Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup fresh strawberries
- ½ cup almond milk, or any preferred milk
- 5 ounce single-serve strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt*, ~3/4 cup
- ½ cup old-fashioned dry oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ¼-½ ripe peach, chopped
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries, almond milk, and strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt. Puree until smooth, which should take about 30 seconds.
- In a 16-ounce mason jar or any small container with a lid or makeshift cover, add the dry oats and chia seeds.
- Pour the pureed strawberry milk over the oats and chia seeds. If your mason jar is too small to hold all the liquid, pour as much as you can and set the rest aside. Stir vigorously, scraping the bottom of the jar to ensure all the oats and chia seeds are fully incorporated into the mixture.
- Mix in the chopped ripe peach.
- Cover the jar with a lid and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This allows the mixture to thicken and the flavors to meld together.
- In the morning, enjoy your creation straight from the fridge. If they are too thick, you can add a splash of milk and stir to reach your desired consistency.
Notes
• If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can pulse the strawberries in the blender instead of pureeing them completely.
• Feel free to swap out the strawberry yogurt for vanilla or plain Greek yogurt if you prefer a less sweet version.
• I like to use a strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt sweetened with stevia or monk-fruit instead of added sugar.
• You'll need a mason jar that's at least 16 ounces for this recipe (or you can split the recipe into two or three smaller portions and use 8-ounce mason jars). If you don't have a mason jar, you can use any container or bowl with a lid or makeshift cover.
Optional topping suggestions
• Add a sprinkle of granola, nuts, seeds or chopped strawberries on top for added texture and flavor.
Storage
• These overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them a great option for meal prep.
Dietary considerations
• If you’re following a gluten-free diet, be sure to carefully read the packaging for each ingredient, especially the oats (look for brands that are certified gluten-free). While these foods are inherently gluten-free, gluten can sometimes be added during processing for a variety of reasons, including for flavor and consistency.
