03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
05 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approximately 30 grams)

→ Toppings

# Directions:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine chopped strawberries and maple syrup. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring and mashing the berries until they break down completely. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice and chia seeds. Allow to cool and thicken for 10 minutes.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
03 - Divide half of the oat mixture evenly between two jars or containers with lids.
04 - Spoon a generous layer of the cooled strawberry jam over the oats in each jar.
05 - Distribute the remaining oat mixture over the jam layer in each jar, then finish with an additional swirl of strawberry jam on top.
06 - Cover the jars with lids and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and develop optimal texture.
07 - Before serving, add desired toppings such as sliced strawberries, a drizzle of peanut butter, or crushed peanuts.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get 27 grams of protein per serving without feeling like youre eating a protein bar.
  • The strawberry jam layer makes it taste indulgent while actually being wholesome and nourishing.
  • Six hours of soaking means zero cooking stress and a ready-to-go breakfast when mornings get chaotic.
  • The texture is pure comfort, creamy and substantial in a way that keeps you full.
02 -
  • The strawberry jam must be completely cool before you layer it, or heat will create condensation that makes the oats mushy and watery.
  • Measure your liquid carefully—too much and you'll end up with soup, too little and the oats stay hard even after hours of soaking.
03 -
  • Make the strawberry jam the night before if you want to simplify morning assembly, then just layer everything right before bed.
  • If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a splash of milk right before eating and stir it in—overnight oats actually absorb liquid continuously and get thicker as they sit.
