Ingredients for Chocolate Covered Strawberry Overnight Oats

Overnight Oats Base

• 1½ cups old-fashioned oats

• 1½ cups milk of choice (almond, cashew, or dairy milk)

• 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt

• 3 tablespoons chia seeds

• 3 tablespoons hemp hearts

• 1–2 scoops protein powder of choice (vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry – I used vanilla)

• Sweetener of choice, to taste (if needed)

Strawberry & Chocolate Layer

• 1 cup strawberries, chopped (about ¼ cup per container)

• 1–2 tablespoons chocolate syrup per jar (homemade or store-bought; I used Hershey’s sugar-free chocolate syrup)

Hard Chocolate Shell

• 3–4 tablespoons on-plan chocolate chips

• 1 teaspoon coconut oil

How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Overnight Oats

1. Layer the strawberries and syrup
   Add ¼ cup chopped strawberries to each of 4 jars or containers. Drizzle 1–2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup over the strawberries in each jar to make a chocolate-covered strawberry base.

2. Blend the oat mixture
   In a blender, add oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, hemp hearts, and protein powder. Blend until smooth and well combined. Taste and add your preferred sweetener if you’d like it sweeter.

3. Pour and chill
   Evenly pour the blended oat mixture over the strawberry and chocolate layer in each jar. Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture.

4. Make the hard chocolate shell
   Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

5. Top with chocolate
   Remove the jars from the fridge and carefully spoon the melted chocolate over the top of each one. Spread it into an even layer so it forms a thin shell.

6. Chill again and serve
   Return the jars to the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens. When you’re ready to eat, crack the chocolate shell with your spoon and enjoy your chocolate covered strawberry overnight oats.

Tips, Variations, and THM-Friendly Options

• Use different protein powders (vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry) to change the flavor while keeping the base recipe the same.

• Add a few extra chopped strawberries or a small dollop of whipped topping right before serving for a more dessert-like feel.

• For a richer version, use a higher-fat yogurt or a creamier milk option that still fits your Trim Healthy Mama goals.

• Make it kid-friendly by using their favorite chocolate syrup and serving in fun jars.

How to Store Overnight Oats

Store these chocolate covered strawberry overnight oats in airtight jars in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The texture stays creamy, and the chocolate shell keeps its crunch until you’re ready to crack into it.
