Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
Description
This recipe starts by mixing old fashioned rolled oats with strawberry cheesecake-flavored protein powder, yogurt, and most of the milk plus honey and chia seeds. The ingredients are combined and chilled for at least two hours, allowing oats and chia seeds to absorb moisture and soften.
Fresh strawberry slices, a pinch of sea salt, and optional lemon juice and zest add brightness and balance the sweetness. Crumbled graham crackers mixed in reinforce the cheesecake theme with a crumbly, slightly crunchy element. Stirring in the remaining milk before serving adds creaminess and looseness to the texture.
The overnight oats are stored covered in the refrigerator and best eaten within three days. Variations on protein powder or yogurt flavor are possible by substituting vanilla or strawberry and adding soft cream cheese or cottage cheese to capture a similar taste and tang. This makes a convenient, make-ahead breakfast that combines familiar cheesecake flavors in a wholesome format.

Notes
- If strawberry cheesecake protein powder is unavailable, substitute with vanilla or strawberry protein powder and stir in a tablespoon of soft cream cheese for similar flavor.
- Cottage cheese may be used to add tanginess but some may find its texture less desirable.
- Using strawberry-flavored Greek yogurt can substitute for specialty cheesecake flavors.
- Store the finished oats covered in the refrigerator in a mason jar or airtight container; best consumed within three days.
