Berry Vanilla Protein Overnight Oats

Greek yogurt overnight oats with vanilla and mixed berries, ready straight from the fridge.

• Prep: 10 min
• Cook: 5 min
• Serves 8
• Difficulty: easy

Oats soak overnight in milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla, then get topped with mixed berries and a drizzle of honey. It is a lighter, fruit-forward alternative to the peanut butter version for crews who want something brighter in the morning.

Ingredients

• 4 cups rolled oats
• 4 cups whole milk
• 3 cups greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup honey
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 cups mixed berries
• 1/2 cup chia seeds

Instructions

1. Whisk the base: Whisk milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla together in a large bowl or pitcher until smooth.
2. Add oats and chia: Stir in rolled oats and chia seeds if using, mixing until fully coated.
3. Portion and chill: Divide evenly into 8 jars, seal, and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight until thickened.
4. Top with berries: Stir each jar before serving, then top with mixed berries. Add a little extra milk if the oats seem too thick.

Station workflow

• Prep this the night before a busy shift so breakfast requires zero stove time.
• Keep berries separate until serving so they don't turn the oats watery in storage.
• Batch mix the base in one pitcher, then portion into jars for speed.

Cleanup

• Rinse the mixing pitcher right away — yogurt residue dries stubborn if left overnight.
• Wash jars promptly after use to avoid stuck-on oats.

Leftovers

• Keeps sealed in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
• Add berries fresh each morning rather than storing them mixed in for the whole batch.
