Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup rolled oats (40g)
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt (60g), plain or vanilla
- ½ cup milk (120ml), any type (almond, oat, or cow’s milk)
- ½ cup strawberries (75g), chopped fresh or thawed frozen
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by leaving it out for 15 minutes or microwaving for 10 seconds until spreadable but not melted.
- In a bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey or maple syrup until smooth and lump-free (about 3 minutes).
- Pour in the milk and whisk until the mixture is creamy and pourable.
- Add rolled oats and chia seeds (if using), mixing thoroughly to coat every oat.
- Gently fold in chopped strawberries and lemon zest.
- Spoon the mixture into 2 small mason jars or airtight containers. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with extra fresh strawberries or crushed candied pecans if desired.
Notes
Soften cream cheese well to avoid lumps. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Thaw and drain frozen strawberries before use to prevent watery oats. Adjust sweetness to taste. For vegan version, use dairy-free cream cheese, plant-based yogurt, plant milk, and maple syrup instead of honey.
