Ingredients Needed

To make this recipe you’ll need:

Old fashioned or rolled oats

Greek yogurt (I like to use Fage 0%)

Agave syrup (or honey or maple syrup)

Vanilla extract

Milk (or almond milk)

Fruit of your choice (optional)

How to Make Greek Yogurt Overnight Oats

Add a scoop of oats to each jar. I like using old fashioned or rolled oats, but any type will work (sometimes it’s fun to change up the texture).

Layer on greek yogurt, agave syrup and milk so that there is an even distribution in your jars. Add fruit if desired and shake!

Put lids tightly on jars and store in the fridge for at least 8 hours before serving.

How to Serve Overnight Oats

Overnight oats can be eaten right out of the jar!

I like them best served cold, but you could also warm them up if you prefer.

Recipe Tips

If you prefer your oats a little sweeter, you can always add in 1-2 tsp of coconut sugar (or regular).

I’ve also been known to add in a touch of cinnamon or a scoop of peanut butter in mine.

Recommended Containers

My favorite containers to make overnight oats in are mason jars.

While they look trendy, they’re actually extremely practical and useful. 16oz mason jars are the perfect size for greek yogurt overnight oats and make it really easy because you can just dump all the ingredients into the jar, seal and shake.

Put them into the fridge and you have a perfect grab and go breakfast the next morning!

How to Store Leftovers

Leftovers should be stored in the fridge and will last about 5 days.

I don’t recommend freezing.

What Type of Milk Should I Use?

You can use any type of milk to make this recipe! I’ve used non dairy (I like Ripple Milk) and Fairlife Milk and it’s all come out great. It’s up to you!

Overnight Oats Toppings Ideas

Some of my favorite toppings are:

sliced fresh fruit like bananas and berries

toasted nuts (cashews are my favorite)

peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter)

seeds like chia seed, flaxseed or pumpkin seeds

toasted coconut

The possibilities really are endless when it comes to overnight oats toppings!

Benefits of Greek Yogurt in Overnight Oats

Greek yogurt is a great source of protein, calcium and vitamin B12.

Adding it to this recipe provides you with an extra boost without the need for any additional ingredients!

I find it also adds a creaminess to the overnight oats that makes them taste thicker and more rich.

How to Add in More Protein to Overnight Oats

To make this even more protein packed, you can add in a scoop of your favorite protein powder.

I love to use Obvi’s unflavored Collagen Protein Powder to get both the protein and collagen benefits. With a scoop of protein, it gets the overnight oats closer to 30g protein.
