How to make high protein raspberry cheesecake overnight oats

Start by blending the cottage cheese, milk and maple syrup in a food processor or blender until it’s smooth.

Add the oats and chia seeds to a 16 oz. jar. Top with the cottage cheese mixture and stir well until well incorporated.

Mash half the raspberries with a fork (if frozen, defrost first).

Add mashed raspberries to the top of the oat mixture, mixing them in slightly. Top with the remaining raspberries and store in the fridge overnight.

Variations

• Swap out raspberries for other berries like blueberries, strawberries, cherries or a mix.
• Add mini chocolate chips
• Add toasted coconut flakes
• Top with crushed graham crackers or granola
• Add lemon zest or orange zest to make this more like cheesecake
• Add more protein by adding 1-2 scoops vanilla protein powder or collagen peptides. You may need to add more milk when adding the protein powder (especially if you use a vegan protein powder).

Common questions

Do you have to blend the cottage cheese?

For the best texture, I recommend blending the cottage cheese. If you don’t the oats will have a less creamy texture.

Can you make this without cottage cheese?

You could make this with a high fat Greek yogurt as well (no blending needed). If you wanted to make this dairy free, use a coconut yogurt and add 1 serving vegan vanilla protein powder.

How many days in advance can you make these?

Cheesecake overnight oats can be made up to 3 days in advance. Be sure you are using a container with a well fitted lid (I like to use mason jars).
