The Stats (Per Serving)

  • Protein: ~31g

  • Fiber: ~9g

  • Prep Time: 5 Minutes

  • Set Time: 4+ Hours (or overnight)

Ingredients

The Base:

  • 1/2 cup Rolled oats (Old fashioned)

  • 1/2 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt

  • 1/4 cup Low-fat cottage cheese (Blend this with the yogurt for a silky texture)

  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened soy milk (or ultra-filtered dairy milk for extra protein)

  • 1 tbsp Chia seeds

  • 1 tbsp Hemp hearts (Hemp seeds)

  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

The Flavor & Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup Fresh strawberries, diced or mashed

  • 1 tsp Maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)

  • Garnish: Unsweetened coconut flakes and sliced strawberries

Instructions

  1. Creamy Blend: In a small blender or using a whisk, combine the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and milk until completely smooth. This removes the “curd” texture of the cottage cheese while keeping all the protein.

  2. Combine: In a jar or bowl, mix the oats, chia seeds, and hemp hearts. Pour the creamy liquid mixture over the dry ingredients.

  3. The Strawberry Swirl: Fold in half of your chopped strawberries. If you like a pinker base, mash a few strawberries at the bottom of the jar before adding the oats.

  4. Set: Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, though overnight is best to allow the oats and chia seeds to fully hydrate.

  5. Serve: Before eating, give it a quick stir. Top with the remaining fresh strawberries and a generous sprinkle of large coconut flakes as seen in your photo.

Pro-Tips for Success

  • The Protein Secret: The combination of Greek yogurt (~12g), cottage cheese (~7g), soy/filtered milk (~4-6g), and seeds (~5-6g) is what gets you to that 31g mark without needing supplements.

  • Texture Check: If the oats are too thick in the morning, splash in an extra tablespoon of milk to loosen them up.

  • Layering: To get the look in the photo, press thin strawberry slices against the inside glass of the jar before pouring the oat mixture in!
