Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant)
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or thick yogurt
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- extra strawberries or crushed graham crackers to top (optional)
Instructions
- Make the strawberry layer: place half the strawberries in a small bowl and mash slightly with a fork. Set aside.
- Make the cheesecake yogurt: in another bowl, mix the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and a little maple syrup until smooth.
- Mix the oats: in a jar or container, combine oats, milk, protein powder, chia seeds, and a small pinch of salt. Stir well so the powder dissolves.
- Layer the jar: spoon half the oat mix into jars, add a layer of the cheesecake yogurt, then a spoon of the mashed strawberries. Repeat layers until jars are full.
- Seal and chill: close jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight so oats soften and flavors meld.
- Serve cold: add fresh strawberry slices or a few crushed graham crackers on top before eating.
Notes
Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Adjust sweetness as needed with honey or maple syrup.
