Strawberry cheesecake overnight oats are much more than just a quick breakfast for me – they're little comfort foods in a jar. Especially on warm days, I love opening the fridge in the morning and treating myself to a serving of creamy, fruity oats that I prepared the night before. These fruity overnight oats remind me of the scent of fresh strawberries and the feeling of taking good care of myself – with simple ingredients and lots of love.
Why the name “Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats”?
We all know "Strawberry Cheesecake," right? A New York classic! But what does the cake have to do with this recipe?
The strawberries are probably pretty obvious. We also add quark and cream cheese to the overnight oats—which are the main ingredients of cheesecake! I use butter cookie crumbs in this recipe, too. In many cheesecake recipes, the cake base consists of smashed cookies with a little butter (similar to moist sand before baking). So, we've combined all three main ingredients of the classic strawberry cheesecake in this recipe, and it certainly lives up to the name!
However, there are also a few health benefits: less sugar, more protein and more long-chain carbohydrates, which don't make you hungry so quickly but instead keep you full for longer.
Other Overnight Oats Variations
You can easily adapt or modify this recipe. For example, change the fruit used to adapt it to a different cycle phase! Or use yogurt instead of quark and cream cheese!
You can also add cocoa powder to the overnight oats for a chocolatey version! (I would recommend mixing the cocoa powder with a little boiling water or sifting it in.)
Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats in the Ovulation Phase
In case of hormonal imbalance, the following symptoms can occur in the first two phases after menstruation: nausea, migraines, midpain / ovulation bleeding, hypersensitivity of the nipples, listlessness and lack of motivation.
Nutrients that can help and support during this time are vitamins A, C, E, B3, B5, protein, iron, folic acid, selenium, zinc and phytoestrogens.
The following ingredients in this Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats recipe are particularly noteworthy when it comes to supporting you in the ovulation phase:

Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats is a protein-packed summer breakfast made with a creamy blend of oats, quark, and cream cheese. Fresh strawberries and butter cookie crumbs add a fruity-sweet flavor reminiscent of classic cheesecake. Served chilled from the fridge in the morning, it's perfect for hot summer days.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
-
Put rolled oats, salt, cinnamon, flax seeds, chia seeds, milk, quark and cream cheese in a bowl and mix everything well.
-
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator overnight (for about 8 hours).
-
The next morning, stir the overnight oats, cut the strawberries into smaller pieces, and scatter them on top. Crumble or break the butter cookies into smaller pieces over the strawberries.
It looks a little prettier if you halve the strawberries and use them to decorate a glass, then crumble some of the cookies into the center and spread the overnight oats on top. Finally, top with more strawberry pieces and cookie crumbs.

Serve the strawberry cheesecake overnight oats.
