    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?

    This is a side view of my high protein strawberry cheesecake overnight oats which are a healthy and delicious meal prep friendly breakfast perfect for busy mornings on the go. They are in a glass container topped with fresh strawberries.

    While you can make these strawberry cheesecake overnight oats anytime of year, they are especially great to enjoy during the warmer months of the year.

    If you love this healthy recipe, you will love my tiramisu overnight oats, apple pie overnight oats and my cinnamon roll overnight oats.

    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

    1. 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. 
    2. 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. 
    3. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight (preferably). 
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
