These easy overnight blended oats are thick, creamy, and pudding-like. They’ve got 21 grams of protein (without protein powder) from whole food sources like Greek yogurt and milk. This is the perfect base recipe to which you can add your favorite overnight oats toppings – I like strawberries, bananas, and chocolate chips!

As a Registered Dietitian, my go-to healthy breakfast to make ahead for busy mornings is always overnight oats with Greek yogurt. Adding Greek yogurt to overnight oats gives the recipe a creamy texture and big protein boost without the need for protein powder!

If you’re also an overnight oats loyalist, you should definitely try mixing it up with these creamy blended overnight oats. The texture is kind of like a thick pudding, so it feels more like a treat than your regular oatmeal. They’re a great alternative for you if you don’t like the texture of regular overnight oats!

Blended overnight oats are just as easy to make as regular overnight oats. This recipe uses all the same ingredients, including rolled oats, chia seeds, milk, and Greek yogurt.

You don’t even need a high-powered blender to make blended oats. I’ve tested this recipe twice using my NutriBullet blender and it works perfectly.

Let’s make blended overnight oats

2. Blend it up until smooth and creamy! The mixture will be a bit thin at this point, but will thicken overnight in the fridge.

3. Pour the blended oats into two jars. The 200 mL Weck jars or leftover Bonne Maman jam jars are the perfect size!

4. Add your toppings of choice, close the lid to the jars, and pop them in the fridge overnight. The oats will thicken up as they sit in the fridge, just like regular overnight oats do.
