This Blended Overnight Oats recipe is a creamy, nutritious, and convenient breakfast option made by blending oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, sweetener, and fresh or frozen fruits or vegetables. It requires minimal preparation, can be made ahead, and delivers a smooth, delicious texture that’s easy to customize according to your taste and dietary preferences.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (honey or maple syrup)

Flavoring and Add-ins

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen fruit or vegetable of choice (examples include strawberries, blueberries, spinach, mango)

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Place all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until the mixture becomes creamy and well combined. Alternatively, you can add the ingredients into a 16-ounce jar and use an immersion blender to blend directly in the container until smooth and creamy.
  2. Refrigerate Mixture: Divide the blended mixture evenly into two glass jars or bowls. Cover each container with a lid or plastic wrap, then place them in the refrigerator. Let the oats chill for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight to allow flavors to meld and the oats to soften fully.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: When ready to eat, uncover the jars and enjoy the overnight oats straight from the container. If the oats are too thick, thin the mixture with a little more milk or water to your desired consistency. Add any preferred toppings either the night before or immediately before serving.

Notes

  • You can tailor the recipe by choosing different types of milk (dairy or plant-based) and fruits or vegetables to suit your taste or dietary needs.
  • Using chia seeds helps thicken the mixture and adds fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Blending the ingredients before refrigeration creates a smooth, creamy texture different from traditional overnight oats which remain more textured.
  • The recipe stores well for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
  • Add toppings such as nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit just before serving to maintain texture and flavor.
