A creamy, tangy, and subtly sweet high-protein overnight oats recipe with Greek yogurt and mixed berries that is quick to prepare and perfect for a nourishing breakfast to support weight loss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45 g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • ½ cup (120 g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based like almond or oat milk)
  • ½ cup (75 g) mixed berries (fresh or frozen; blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries)
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon (7 ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon (0.5 g) cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Measure ½ cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds into a mixing bowl or jar.
  2. Add ½ cup Greek yogurt and ½ cup milk of choice; stir to combine.
  3. Mix in 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional), ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Gently fold in ½ cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen).
  5. Stir everything together until well combined.
  6. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats; add a splash of milk if too thick or more yogurt/oats if too thin and let sit 10 minutes.
  8. Serve topped with extra fresh berries, nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter if desired.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. Chia seeds thicken the mixture naturally. Adjust sweetness and spices to taste. Store leftovers covered in fridge up to 3 days. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based milk. Add crunchy toppings just before eating to avoid sogginess.
