Overnight Oats
These strawberry banana orange overnight oats with a chocolate yogurt layer feel a little bit like dessert but still make a nourishing, satisfying breakfast. Sweet strawberries and banana create a naturally fruity base, while fresh orange adds a bright, citrusy note that keeps everything tasting light and fresh. The creamy chocolate yogurt layer brings just the right touch of richness, tying all the flavors together in the most delicious way.
Serving Size: Two Jars
Ingredients
Oat base
4 strawberries (diced small)
2 mandarin oranges (diced small)
1 banana
1 scoop strawberry protein powder
2 tbsp yogurt
1 cup of rolled oats
1 cup almond milk
3 tbsp chia seeds
Yogurt layer
½ cup yogurt
2 tbsp chocolate protein powder
1 tsp honey
Directions
Mix all oat base ingredients into a medium sized mixing bowl and set aside.
Mix all yogurt layer ingredients into a small bowl and set aside.
Fill two jars roughly halfway with the oat mixture.
To create a layered look, divide the yogurt mixture evenly between both jars (do not stir).
Fill jars with remaining oat mixture.
Let the oats sit in the refrigerator overnight, or up to three days before eating.
When ready to serve, top with pecans and walnuts, almonds, additional fruit or toppings of choice.
Helpful Tips
Feel free to customize the berries depending on what you have in your kitchen. Extra strawberries or banana, raspberries or blackberries all work beautifully in this recipe.
To make these oats dairy free, use Silk yogurt instead.
For the yogurt layer, cocoa powder can be used as a substitute for chocolate protein powder if desired.
I prefer rolled oats, but quick oats may be used as well for a softer consistency. Avoid using steel-cut oats, they will remain firm and chewy without cooking.
