4.1 from 13 reviews

This protein-packed Tres Leches Overnight Oats recipe combines creamy Greek yogurt, vanilla protein shake, and a hint of sweetened condensed milk to create a luscious, nutritious breakfast that’s ready after just 6 hours in the fridge. Enhanced with cinnamon, basil or chia seeds, and topped with fresh strawberries and light whipped topping, it offers a delicious twist on traditional overnight oats with a subtle dessert-inspired flavor.

  • Total Time: 6 hours 10 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla protein shake (e.g. Fairlife 26g Protein Shake)
  • ⅓ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt (e.g. Oikos Pro Plain, 25 grams protein)
  • 1 tablespoon sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tablespoon evaporated light milk (or 2% milk)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup protein oats (Bob’s Red Mill or quick rolled oats)
  • 1 tablespoon basil seeds (or chia seeds)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of cinnamon (for topping)
  • ½ teaspoon coconut flakes

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons light whipped topping
  • ⅓ cup sliced strawberries
  • Monk fruit sweetener (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, mix the vanilla protein shake, plain nonfat Greek yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract together until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients and Seeds: Stir in the protein oats, basil or chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly. If you prefer a sweeter taste, add more condensed milk or monk fruit sweetener to taste and mix again.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the oats to soften and the mixture to thicken into a creamy consistency.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Divide the thickened oat mixture evenly into two serving dishes. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon of light whipped topping, sliced strawberries, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and coconut flakes for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute basil seeds with chia seeds based on availability or preference.
  • Adjust the sweetness level by adding more sweetened condensed milk or monk fruit sweetener as desired.
  • The recipe can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for up to 2 days for convenience.
  • Light whipped topping can be replaced with Greek yogurt or coconut whipped cream for different tastes or dietary needs.
