These healthy and high protein strawberry cheesecake overnight oats capture the essence of a classic American dessert in a wholesome morning meal. These oats are packed with fresh strawberries, cinnamon, cream cheese and a hint of vanilla bean paste, which are reminiscent of freshly baked strawberry cheesecake. As you take the first bite, you will experience the satisfying creaminess of the cream cheesecake with the freshly sweet and acidic berries. Did I mention that these oats are meal prep friendly?

Ingredients

Quick Oats
Vanilla Protein Powder: I used Garden of Life 100% Whey Protein
Chia Seeds
Maple Syrup
Milk of Choice
Vanilla Extract

For the topping:

Low Fat Cream Cheese
Non- Fat Greek Yogurt, Plain
Vanilla Bean Paste: I got mine from Trader Joe’s but you can also use this one too.
Maple Syrup
Cinnamon
Strawberries, Sliced

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Add your dry ingredients (quick oats, vanilla protein powder, and chia seeds) to a meal prep friendly container. Give it a stir with a small whisk until everything is well combined.
Next, add in your milk of choice followed by your maple syrup and vanilla extract. Using the whisk, mix again thoroughly until everything is well combined. Make sure to check the sides of your container to make sure that the chia seeds are not stuck onto the sides.
Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight (preferably).
Once your overnight oats are in the fridge, make your topping by combining your greek yogurt, cream cheese, vanilla bean paste and maple syrup. Whisk until everything is well combined and the cream cheese is evenly distributed into the mixture.
Remove your overnight oats from the fridge and give them a stir. Next, spoon over the yogurt and cream cheese mixture on top of your overnight oats mixture when you are ready to serve in the morning and then top with your freshly sliced strawberries and some cinnamon to garnish. Enjoy!

Hint: If you are running low on time and don’t mind the topping getting mixed throughout your oats, you can spoon your yogurt and cream cheese mixture on top of the overnight oats along with your strawberries and cinnamon before they firm up. Place in the fridge overnight so you can grab and go without additional work in the morning.
