A quick and easy healthy breakfast recipe featuring creamy pink overnight oats made with Greek yogurt, beetroot powder, and topped with fresh berries. Perfect for busy mornings or a nutritious snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90 g) rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120 ml) plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon beetroot powder (or a few drops of red food coloring or blended fresh raspberries)
  • 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), washed and sliced if needed
  • Optional toppings: sliced almonds, shredded coconut, or a dollop of nut butter

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup rolled oats and 1 tablespoon chia seeds (if using).
  2. Add ½ cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup milk, 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon beetroot powder. Whisk until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly into two to three mason jars or small glass containers.
  4. Top each jar with about 1 cup fresh mixed berries, gently pressing some into the oats if desired.
  5. Seal the jars tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  6. In the morning, stir the oats gently if desired, add optional toppings like sliced almonds or shredded coconut, and enjoy cold or at room temperature. To serve warm, microwave for 30-45 seconds carefully.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats. Chia seeds are optional but add fiber and thickness. Beetroot powder adds natural pink color but can be substituted or omitted. Add fresh berries on top to keep them fresh and vibrant. If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk; if too thin, add more oats next time. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Microwave gently to warm without losing creaminess.
