High Protein Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
These high protein strawberry cheesecake overnight oats are a healthy and delicious meal prep friendly breakfast perfect for busy mornings on the go.
Equipment
- 1 Glass Container
Ingredients
- ⅓ Cup Quick Oats
- 2 Tablespoons Vanilla Protein Powder: I used Garden of Life 100% Whey Protein
- 2 Tablespoons Chia Seeds
- 1 Teaspoon Maple syrup
- 1 Cup Milk of Choice
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
For the Topping
- 1 Tablespoon Low Fat Cream Cheese
- 3 Tablespoons Non- Fat Greek Yogurt Plain
- ½ Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste I got mine from Trader Joe's
- 4 Large Strawberries Sliced
- ¼ Teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 Teaspoon Maple Syrup
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.
