This simple and delicious Strawberry Banana Overnight Oatmeal is no-cook, has no refined sugar, and gives you 5g of fiber and 13g of protein per serving! It’s the perfect healthy, quick, and easy breakfast!
You guys, apparently I’ve been living under a rock! I’ve seen overnight oatmeal mentioned in the private Facebook group a few times, but I just tried it for the first time last week and I am hooked! I am so excited to have another super easy and healthy breakfast in the menu rotation. You guys definitely have to give this one a try!
You seriously won’t believe how quick and easy this recipe is! It reminds me of my Overnight Steel Cut Oats, but even easier because you don’t have to cook anything! Just dump all the ingredients in a jar, shake it up, refrigerate, and wake up to a healthy high-protein, high-fiber breakfast {hello 5.3g fiber & 13.1g protein!}! They would be perfect for grabbing on the way out the door too. Oh, and stay tuned, I’ve got yummy flavor ideas coming your way soon!
- ¼ cup old fashioned rolled oats, uncooked
- ⅓ cup skim milk
- ¼ cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons strawberry puree or all-fruit spread
- ⅓ cup chopped strawberries & bananas
- Add oats, milk, yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla, and fruit puree to a half pint (1 cup) jar. Put the lid on the jar and shake until well combined. Add chopped fruit and stir until mixed throughout.
- Put lid back on and refrigerate overnight or for as long as 2-3 days.
- Eat chilled. Enjoy!
1. Half Pint Mason Jars – I recently got a dozen of these cute little jars (for less than $15) and I’ve decided they are a healthy kitchen MUST. I use them for this Overnight Oatmeal and for homemade fruit on the bottom greek yogurt, minus all the added sugar. All 12 of them are pretty much in my fridge all the time. You can get a dozen for super cheap on Amazon.
2. Chia Seeds – These are awesome to have in the pantry. 1 tablespoon has 5g of fiber and 3 grams of protein! I sprinkle them on yogurt, add them to smoothies, and even use them as a healthy egg substitute in baking. This is another one that I buy in bulk for cheap on Amazon.
3. Frozen Strawberries: Buying frozen berries is a great way to get delicious, healthy berries even when they aren’t in season. I get big bags at Costco and use them in oatmeal, greek yogurt, or even as a yummy treat right out of the bag.

Can you use almond milk instead of skim milk?
Absolutely Carrie! Almond milk would be great in this recipe. 🙂
