Kickstart your day with a burst of fruity freshness and wholesome nutrition with this hearty rendition of overnight oats.
The portion is hearty, filling, and generous. It’s designed to be a single serving, with the provided nutrition information reflecting that. That said, it’s big enough to split into two servings, and if you’re too full to finish, just pop the lid back on and store it in the fridge to enjoy later in the day or even the next morning. I make mine in a mason jar, but you can use any container with a lid or makeshift cover (see notes below for specifics on size).
I think it’s sweet enough without any added sugar, but if you prefer, you can mix in a teaspoon of honey, maple syrup, or another non-caloric sugar substitute.
If you’re a die-hard strawberry fan, go ahead and skip the peaches for a “strawberry fields forever” kind of vibe. You can also experiment with various types of yogurt (see notes for more info) and toppings like granola, nuts, seeds and chopped berries.

Dig into this nutritious treat and let your morning shine!

Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup fresh strawberries
- ½ cup almond milk, or any preferred milk
- 5 ounce single-serve strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt*, ~3/4 cup
- ½ cup old-fashioned dry oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ¼-½ ripe peach, chopped
Equipment
Instructions
In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries, almond milk, and strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt. Puree until smooth, which should take about 30 seconds.
In a 16-ounce mason jar or any small container with a lid or makeshift cover, add the dry oats and chia seeds.
Pour the pureed strawberry milk over the oats and chia seeds. If your mason jar is too small to hold all the liquid, pour as much as you can and set the rest aside. Stir vigorously, scraping the bottom of the jar to ensure all the oats and chia seeds are fully incorporated into the mixture.
Mix in the chopped ripe peach.
Cover the jar with a lid and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This allows the mixture to thicken and the flavors to meld together.
In the morning, enjoy your creation straight from the fridge. If they are too thick, you can add a splash of milk and stir to reach your desired consistency.
Notes
• If you prefer a chunkier texture, you can pulse the strawberries in the blender instead of pureeing them completely.
• Feel free to swap out the strawberry yogurt for vanilla or plain Greek yogurt if you prefer a less sweet version.
• I like to use a strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt sweetened with stevia or monk-fruit instead of added sugar.
• You’ll need a mason jar that’s at least 16 ounces for this recipe (or you can split the recipe into two or three smaller portions and use 8-ounce mason jars). If you don’t have a mason jar, you can use any container or bowl with a lid or makeshift cover.
Optional topping suggestions
• Add a sprinkle of granola, nuts, seeds or chopped strawberries on top for added texture and flavor.
Storage
• These overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, making them a great option for meal prep.
Dietary considerations
• If you’re following a gluten-free diet, be sure to carefully read the packaging for each ingredient, especially the oats (look for brands that are certified gluten-free). While these foods are inherently gluten-free, gluten can sometimes be added during processing for a variety of reasons, including for flavor and consistency.

Hi Morgan! So happy to hear you enjoyed your first overnight oats experience. 🙂 Feel free to experiment with different fruit combos, too…they’re all delicious!

I’d love to see the WW points values for all of Joy’s delish recipes. Thank you.
Joy Bauer, MS, RDN, CDN —Reply
Hi Linda! While we don’t calculate WW points ourselves, I’ve heard it’s pretty simple to figure out by entering the key nutrition numbers (provided at the end of each recipe) into their online calculator. I hope that helps and keeps things easy for you!

I happen to get the overnight blueberry oats from my daughters and have been making it every week since. I am now going to try the strawberry- peach.
NancyDonna —Reply
Hi Nancy. We’re so glad you’re enjoying the Blueberry Overnight Oats and hope you like the Strawberry-Peach version just as much! There are a few other overnight oat spins on the site, if you’d like to try, including Banana Bread Overnight Oats and Key Lime Overnight Oats. If you decide to give any a shot, please let us know your thoughts!

Isn’t 18 grams of sugar too much even if it’s natural?
Joy Bauer, MS, RDN, CDN —Reply
Great question, kathleen! The 18 grams of naturally-occurring sugar in this recipe all come from nutrient-rich sources: fresh strawberries, peaches, and a small amount from the dairy in the yogurt. These whole foods provide vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber, that help balance out and justify the natural sugars, unlike added sugars, which often come without any nutritional benefits. That said, if you’re looking to reduce the natural sugar, you can easily portion this recipe into two servings… it will still be super satisfying, since this recipe makes a gigantic single portion. Or, try using 1/4 chopped peach and 1/2 cup strawberries, which will also trim the natural sugar dramatically while keeping it delicious and nutritious. Hope that helps!

Can I substitute frozen strawberries for fresh? Thank you
Joy Bauer, MS, RDN, CDN —Reply
See AlsoEasy Scribble Art ProjectHi Myrna! You can definitely use frozen strawberries in the overnight oats. I recommend letting them thaw first before blending with the milk and yogurt. This way, you’ll get a nice, smooth ‘strawberry milk’ to mix with the dry oats and chia seeds. If you blend the strawberries while they’re still frozen, the mixture will be much thicker and harder to combine with the oats. (Although, that would be a delicious standalone smoothie). Hope you love the recipe — if you try it, let me know what you think!!
Mary —Reply
Yum!! I used peach yogurt because that’s what I had on hand and I also added a pinch of sugar! Can’t wait until morning!Joy Bauer, MS, RDN, CDN —Reply
Hi Mary, thank you so much for your sweet comment! Peach yogurt sounds like a delicious swap, and I bet it added the perfect burst of flavor. Hoping you enjoyed every bite!
Dean —Reply
Hi Joy, is there any suggestion to try to lower the carbs in this recipe? It looks delicious.
DeanDonna —Reply
Hi Dean. This is a super-hearty breakfast, so you can easily split it into two portions, which will automatically cut the carbs in half! The carbs are coming from the fresh fruit and oats, so it’s tough to omit one of those ingredients. Hoping you enjoy the recipe!

Recipe sounds great what can make for those with diverticulitis.Joy Bauer, MS, RDN, CDN —Reply
Hi William, I’m sorry you’re dealing with diverticulitis and hope you’re currently feeling well. If you’re in an active state of diverticulitis, you’ll need to follow a very low-fiber diet. Unfortunately, this recipe will not work for you. However, if you’re symptom-free, it may be appropriate. Here’s why…
In the past, it was common to recommend avoiding seeds, nuts, and certain high-fiber foods due to concerns they might irritate or become trapped in the diverticula. However, recent research indicates that this strict avoidance isn’t necessary when you’re symptom-free (as I mentioned above, an active flare up requires avoiding all foods high in fiber).
Today, the advice when you’re in a symptom-free state is to maintain a high-fiber diet with plenty of water (the foods in this recipe, including chia seeds get a green light). And if you prefer to stay away from chia seeds, you can swap in “ground flaxseeds”, which have a more powder-like consistency and help firm and set the overnight oats in the same way the chia seeds do. That being said, ALWAYS consult with your personal healthcare provider for advice tailored to your specific situation. He or she will know your circ*mstance best. I’m hoping this helps!!

I have lost 35lbs adding more protein to every meal. I would love this for breakfast but the carbs are high. What do you suggest.
Donna —Reply
Hi Eileen. This breakfast is super filling and hearty, so you can split it in half, automatically cut the carbs and still be satisfied!

Gerry —Reply
Hi Joy!! Are over night oats different from other oats? Also, do you have a cook book with the recipes that you show on TV? Would luv to buy it. Thnx so much for your recipes!!Joy Bauer, MS, RDN, CDN —Reply
Hi Gerry!! Thanks so much for your sweet message! Overnight oats are simply regular “dry, old-fashioned rolled oats” that have been soaked in liquid (like milk, almond milk, or yogurt) overnight in the fridge, which softens them up. No cooking required! They’re cold, creamy, and the perfect grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings. I have quite a few “overnight oats” recipes on my website, just like this one. Definitely check out my Key Lime Pie Overnight Oats and Banana Bread Overnight Oats — they’re both so yummy!
As for a cookbook, my latest is “Joy Bauer’s Super Foods” … you can get it on Amazon, or simply peruse around the website, sign up for my free newsletter, and follow me on social media for loads of new recipe ideas each week. I’m constantly posting and providing the links to these printable recipe pages, so you’ll be flooded with delicious options!! Thanks for being here — and for your kind words!

Weird substitution but can I use cottage cheese rather than Greek yogurt?
Donna —Reply
Hi Erica. Yes, you can use cottage cheese. Just be sure to blend it so it’s smooth. We hope you love the recipe as much as we do.

Laura —Reply
How to make this if dairy-free? If I use nut milk instead of yogurt – won’t it be runny?
Donna —Reply
Hi Laura. You can use strawberry-flavored coconut or soy yogurt. The recipe already calls for dairy-free almond milk. However, note that the protein will drop with the dairy-free yogurt swap. You could add a scoop of vanilla or strawberry protein powder to the mix.
Joy likes the following protein powders (they are gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan—and low in sugar, too):
• Naked Shake Vanilla
• Aloha Organic Vanilla Protein Powder
We hope you love the recipe as much as we do! Please let us know your thoughts…we’d love to hear back!

Lynne —Reply
Saw this on the show this morning, and I’m going to make this. Question on the oats: Are these quick cooking oats or regular oats? Can I used steel cut oats?
Donna —Reply
Hi Lynne. So glad you were able to catch Joy on the TODAY show! For this recipe, old-fashioned oats and quick oats will both work. The old fashioned oats will have more texture in the finished blend (that’s what Joy typically uses). The measurement will be different for steel cut oats, and since Joy hasn’t not experimented with that type, we recommend you skip them for this recipe!!! We hope you love it as much as we do! Please let us know what you think 🙂

Can a covered bowl or dish work instead of a jar? Would it have to be a glass container? Thank you.
Donna —Reply
Hi Carol. Thanks for your questions! Any container or bowl with a lid or makeshift cover will work perfectly! And it doesn’t have to be glass. We hope you love the recipe as much as we do!

Colleen Rhinehart —Reply
Looking forward to making this! But what is “a small mason jar”?? Pint ? Half Pint?Donna —Reply
Hi Colleen. Thanks for your question! You need at least a 16-ounce mason jar to make the recipe. But you could use any jar or container with a lid or cover. Also, if you wanted to make two or three smaller portions, you could do so using 8-ounce mason jars. Thanks and we hope you love it as much as we do!

Debbie —Reply
Hi JoyI made Strawberries in mason jar. I used regular milk instead of Almond. It did not set so it came out liquidy. Is there something I did wrong.
Joy Bauer, MS, RDN, CDN —Reply
Hi Debbie! Using regular milk instead of almond milk shouldn’t be an issue at all, but one possible reason it turned out liquidy might be if the chia seeds weren’t added. They help thicken the mixture as it sits in the fridge. Did you include them with the oats? A few other thoughts: Is there a chance the oats/chia seeds weren’t thoroughly mixed with the strawberry milk in the mason jar? Or perhaps some extra milk was added in the blender unintentionally? Let me know, I’d love to help troubleshoot so you can enjoy it fully next time!!
