Life is busy. There’s overnight oats for that. Seriously though, are you looking for a quick, on-the-go breakfast that you can prep ahead of time and not have to worry about making in the morning?

That’s where overnight oats come into the picture. Especially these strawberry banana overnight oats which are packed with protein, healthy fats to keep you full and fresh strawberries and bananas for sweetness.

Even better is the fact that you can triple this batch and make enough for the whole week so that you’re setting yourself up with healthy breakfast options all week. It’s a win-win situation for you and your hunger.

Need more overnight oats? You have to try my Creamy Peanut Butter Overnight Oats and Blueberry Overnight Oats ones too.

Ingredients in strawberry banana overnight oats

Quick Cooking Oats – you can also use rolled oats but we used quick cooking here! I find that they get fluffier and absorb more liquid, and personally prefer the texture but either work well!

Greek yogurt – any kind of greek yogurt or regular yogurt will work here. In this recipe, vanilla greek yogurt is used. It is sweeter than plain, so if you are working with plain yogurt you will need to add a sweetener. Honey would be great!

Almond milk – a non-dairy alternative to regular cows milk. Any form of milk will work here. Only have regular, coconut, or cashew? They all work!

Chia seeds – this is a key ingredient in overnight oats! chia seeds help to absorb some of the liquid and give overnight oats that chewy, hearty consistency. They are also full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, iron, fiber, and calcium.

Fresh strawberries and banana – fresh fruit is delicious in overnight oats and for this rendition, we use both strawberries and bananas.

How to store overnight oats

Storing overnight oats is easy. All you need is some sort of container to store them in. Typically, I will either wrap the overnight oats in a small bowl that will fit in the fridge, or I will put the oats in a jar for eating the next day.

I like putting them in a jar because then you can just grab them the next morning and take them on-the-go, which is always a huge time saver.

Overnight oats the next day

When getting your oats out of the fridge the next day, I always recommend topping them off with a splash of almond milk. Since they sit overnight and really absorb most liquid, a little bit of liquid brings them back to life.

If you’re eating them on the go and don’t have time for this, the oats will be just fine as is! Just mix them up really well!

Adding sliced bananas and strawberries and other toppings like nut butter and chia seeds is a great way to up the satiety of overnight oats. I’m a big fan of adding fruit and peanut butter to these for an almost PB&J vibe.

Other mix-ins for strawberry banana overnight oats

If you make these strawberry banana overnight oats and want to add in other mix-ins, go for it! These would be delicious with nuts or dried fruit. I also like to top my oats with granola for an added crunch.

The options are endless with overnight oat varieties. In the photos, I also topped it with my easy chia jam.
