Save Money by Making These Copycat Strawberry Overnight Oats at Home!

I saw the product label and knew I had to try them.

As I reached up to grab one to add to my basket, I saw the price tag.

YOUCH.

$1.99 for a 5 oz. cup…that maybe had 5 bites. Hmmmmmm.

I looked at the ingredients list and thought…I can recreate this, easy!

I grabbed a few for tasting and testing purposes.

I knew that making my own would be worth the cost savings.

Here’s a quick breakdown for 8 – 4 oz. glass jars worth:

• 1/2 bag freeze dried strawberries – $1.50
• 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats – $1.50
• 1 cup coconut water – $.75 
• 1 cup apple juice – $.50

**ingredient prices based on costs at local grocery store in San Antonio, May 2024.

Total Cost to Make Your Own: $4.25

Total Cost for 8 cups from the store: $15.92

That’s almost 1/4 of the cost. WHOA.

Given how easy these are to prep, they are absolutely worth making your own to get the savings! 

This is also a great gluten-free, dairy-free breakfast option if you use certified gluten-free oats. 

AND…

You can mix different flavors and freeze dried fruits to bring your favorite flavors to oats.

Think: 

• Mango Overnight Oats
• Apple juice + coconut water + freeze dried berries.
• Pineapple juice + coconut water + freeze dried pineapple.

FINALLY…

If you want a protein boost, you could use this Protein Oats mix with the liquid proportions mentioned above. 

Or you could add in about 1/2 a scoop of this protein powder to each jar, using the recipe below. 

All that to say, these are easy to “make your own” and are the perfect “cool summer breakfast.”
