Ingredients That Make the Magic Happen
The ingredients in this recipe are carefully chosen to deliver maximum flavor, nutrition, and texture:
- Quick Oats: The perfect base for creamy, no-fuss overnight oats.
- Greek Yogurt: Adds creaminess and a hefty dose of protein.
- Sugar-Free JELLO Mix: A game-changer for flavor without added sugar.
- Raspberries: Provide a natural sweetness, vibrant color, and a boost of antioxidants.
- Protein Powder: Ensures you stay full and energized all morning.
- Vanilla and Almond Extracts: Add depth of flavor that complements the fruity topping.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Oats
Start by combining all the ingredients for the oat base. Mix well and microwave for about 30 seconds to bring the flavors together. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least two hours if you’re short on time).
2. Create the Topping
Whisk together Greek yogurt, sugar-free raspberry and vanilla JELLO mixes, and sweetener of your choice until smooth. This mixture will act as your “frosting.”
3. Assemble Your Masterpiece
Spread the frosting over your chilled oats. Use a spoon to create a heart-shaped well in the center. Mash fresh raspberries with a touch of sweetener, then spoon the jammy mixture into the heart. Garnish with a few whole raspberries for an extra pop of color.
Pro Tips for Perfection
• Use High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, ripe raspberries when available. They add a burst of natural sweetness that frozen berries can’t always match.
• Make It Vegan: Swap Greek yogurt for a plant-based alternative and choose a vegan protein powder for an equally delicious result.
• Customize the Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sweetener to suit your taste, keeping in mind that the raspberries will add a touch of tartness.
Nutrition Highlights
What makes these oats stand out is their balanced nutritional profile. Here’s what you’re getting in every serving:
- Protein: Between the Greek yogurt and protein powder, you’ll stay full and satisfied.
- Fiber: The oats and raspberries team up to support healthy digestion.
- Low Sugar: Thanks to the sugar-free JELLO mix and stevia, you can enjoy a sweet breakfast without the sugar crash.

How to Store and Meal Prep
These oats are best enjoyed fresh, but you can prep a few jars at once to simplify your mornings.

Quick FAQ
Q: Can I use steel-cut oats instead of quick oats?
A: Steel-cut oats have a chewier texture and require more liquid and time to soften. If you prefer them, adjust the liquid ratio and let them soak longer.
Q: Can I skip the JELLO mix?
A: Yes! The JELLO mix adds flavor and thickness, but you can use vanilla extract and a little extra protein powder as substitutes.
Q: Are these freezer-friendly?
A: While the oat base can be frozen, the texture of the yogurt topping may change. For best results, prepare them fresh.
