Favorite Overnight Oats

This might be my favorite overnight oats flavor yet. Chocolate for breakfast is an easy win, and these oats are wonderfully creamy and chocolatey without being overly sweet. Fresh strawberries add bright pops of flavor and a juicy contrast to the rich cocoa, making every spoonful feel indulgent while still being nutritious.

The texture is satisfyingly thick but can be adjusted the next morning if you prefer a looser, more spoonable consistency. Serve straight from the fridge for a refreshing, grab-and-go breakfast or pack in jars for an easy weekday routine.

Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Oats

These chocolate strawberry overnight oats are a nutritious breakfast that tastes like dessert. They combine rolled oats, unsweetened cocoa, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, and chia seeds, finished with fresh sliced strawberries. Make a batch to enjoy for mornings throughout the week.

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
• 1.25 cups unsweetened, plain almond milk
• 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds
• 4 large strawberries, sliced

Instructions

1. In a medium container or jar, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, and chia seeds. Mix thoroughly so the cocoa powder is fully incorporated and the oats are evenly coated.
2. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and thicken.
3. The next morning, stir the oats. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a few tablespoons of almond milk and mix to reach your desired texture.
4. Slice the strawberries into bite-sized pieces and fold them into the oats. Serve cold and enjoy.

Tips & Notes

• Store leftover oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days—perfect for meal prep.
• For extra richness, stir in a tablespoon of nut butter or a splash of vanilla extract before refrigerating.
• To keep this recipe dairy-free, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt of similar thickness.
• Adjust the sweetness to your taste by increasing or reducing the honey or using a sugar-free sweetener.
