Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk of choice
½ cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons sweetener (honey or maple syrup)
½ cup fresh or frozen fruit or vegetable of choice (such as strawberries, blueberries, spinach, or mango)

Instructions

Step 1: Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until creamy and well combined. Alternatively, put the ingredients in a 16-ounce jar and use an immersion blender to carefully blend in the container until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: Divide the mixture into two glass jars or bowls. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight. You can add toppings either the night before or just before serving.
Step 3: Uncover and enjoy directly from the container the next day. Add a little extra milk or water if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Tips & Variations

Try different fruits or vegetables to vary flavors, such as banana, kale, or peaches.
Use plant-based yogurt and milk for a vegan-friendly option.
For added crunch, sprinkle nuts or seeds just before serving.

Storage

Store blended overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture and flavor, consume within this time frame. Re-stir and add a splash of milk before eating if the mixture thickens.

How to Serve

The image shows four glass jars each filled with a different creamy smoothie and fresh fruit toppings. In the front is a jar with a pinkish smoothie filled almost to the top, with diced red strawberries layered on top, some of the mixture and strawberry pieces are being lifted by a spoon held by a woman's hand from the right side. Behind it to the left is a jar with a light purple smoothie topped with whole blueberries. Behind that jar to the left is another jar filled with light green smoothie topped with a creamy light green topping. To the right, behind all, is a jar with a pale yellow smoothie topped with small yellow mango cubes. The jars are all placed on a white marbled surface, with some extra strawberries, blueberries in small white bowls, and mango pieces scattered around. A few oat flakes are also sporadically seen on the surface near the front jar. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, regular yogurt can be used, but Greek yogurt adds extra creaminess and protein to the oats.

Is it necessary to blend the mixture?

Blending creates a smooth, creamy texture, but if you prefer a chunkier texture, you can simply mix the ingredients without blending, though the oats won’t be as soft overnight.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk of choice
½ cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 tablespoons sweetener (honey or maple syrup)

Fruit or Vegetable Add-ins

½ cup fresh or frozen fruit or vegetable of choice (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, spinach, mango)

Instructions

Blend Ingredients: Place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until creamy and well combined. Alternatively, place the ingredients in a 16-ounce jar and use an immersion blender carefully inside the container until smooth and creamy.
Refrigerate: Divide the blended mixture into two glass jars or bowls. Cover them with lids or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquids and thicken.
Serve: Uncover and enjoy the blended overnight oats directly from the glass container the next day. If the texture is too thick, thin with a bit more milk or water according to your preference. Add any toppings either the previous night or right before serving.

Notes

You can customize the fruit or vegetable based on your taste and nutritional preference.
Using Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein to the recipe.
Chia seeds help thicken the mixture and provide extra fiber and omega-3s.
This recipe can be kept in the fridge up to 3 days for convenience.
If you prefer a sweeter dish, adjust the honey or maple syrup quantity to taste.
Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture; immersion blender works well for smaller batches.
