These Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Oats taste like chocolate-covered strawberries and make a delicious, convenient breakfast. They satisfy a sweet tooth, pack a good amount of protein, and hold up well for meal prep.
About these Overnight Oats
If you skip breakfast or keep choosing the same thing every morning, these Chocolate Strawberry Overnight Oats are an easy way to switch things up. They combine fresh strawberries, chocolate protein powder (brownie batter or another chocolate flavor), yogurt, and rolled oats into a creamy, ready-to-eat breakfast.
Prep takes only a few minutes: mix the ingredients, refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight, then enjoy. They store well for up to three days, making them ideal for batch prep and busy mornings.
Recipe Ingredients
- Oats: Old-fashioned rolled oats work best — they absorb liquid and texture well. Quick oats get too mushy; steel-cut oats won’t soften sufficiently.
- Yogurt: A simple vanilla or plain yogurt is recommended. I used a light vanilla variety, but use what you prefer.
- Milk: Unsweetened almond milk keeps the recipe light, but any milk or even water will work.
- Protein powder: Use a chocolate-flavored protein powder for the best chocolate taste. If using unflavored protein, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder.
- Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are delicious here. Dice them small so they distribute evenly through the oats.

Recipe FAQs
Store in the refrigerator. These oats are best eaten within 3 days for optimal texture; after that they tend to become very soft.
They’re traditionally eaten cold straight from the fridge, but you can warm them gently in the microwave or on the stove. Add a splash of milk if they need extra creaminess after heating.
Popular toppings include granola, extra fresh fruit (banana, kiwi, or more strawberries), honey, nut butter, or nuts and seeds. Mini chocolate chips are a nice finishing touch for this chocolate-strawberry version.
The recipe as written serves one, but you can easily double or triple the ingredients to batch-make several servings for the week.
