Recipe Makes (Approximate): 1

Equipment

  • wide-mouth pint mason jar with lid (16 oz)
  • medium mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • rubber spatula

Ingredients

The Base

Optional Protein Boost

  • ½ scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons extra milk (as needed)

For the Jar

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons strawberry jam
  • ¼ cup granola
  • fresh strawberries (sliced, for topping)

Instructions

  • Add ⅔ cup old-fashioned rolled oats, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, ½ cup milk of choice, 2 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 pinch of salt to a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth and fully combined with no streaks.
  • If using protein powder, add ½ scoop vanilla protein powder and whisk to combine. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons extra milk if mixture is too thick.
  • Spoon half the oat mixture into a wide-mouth pint jar.
  • Add 1 to 1½ tablespoons strawberry jam in an even layer over oats.
  • Spoon remaining oat mixture on top. Swirl 1 additional tablespoon strawberry jam over surface.
  • Seal jar and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Right before serving, top with ¼ cup granola and fresh sliced strawberries.

Recipe Notes

Make it Dairy-Free: Use plain coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt and any non-dairy milk (oat milk and almond milk both work well).
Make it Nut-Free: Replace peanut butter with sunflower seed butter (same amount).
Storage: Keeps well sealed in refrigerator for up to 4 days. Add granola and fresh fruit right before serving (do not store with toppings on).
For Road Trips and Tavel: Prep the night before, refrigerate overnight, then transfer to a cooler with ice packs in the morning. Pack granola and toppings separately in zip-lock bags.
