Raspberry Lemon Overnight Oats

These raspberry lemon overnight oats combine rolled oats, yogurt, protein powder, lemon zest and fresh raspberries for a refreshing, easy make-ahead breakfast that’s packed with protein.
If you didn’t already know, I am a huge overnight oats lover. I have well over 20 recipes on the blog and counting and my newest creation is this raspberry lemon flavor.
This slightly sweet, slightly tart breakfast combines oats with vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, fresh raspberries and a hint of lemon for the perfect summer breakfast!
Ingredients Needed
- old-fashioned rolled oats – rolled oats work best for overnight oats recipes.
- almond or oat milk – I prefer to use unsweetened almond milk or oat milk, but really any dairy-free milk or regular milk will work.
- yogurt – yogurt gives overnight oats an extra creamy texture and thicker consistency while adding a bit of protein. I personally like using plain full fat Greek yogurt since it’s the highest in protein and lowest in sugar, but feel free to use your favorite type of yogurt! To make this recipe vegan or dairy-free you can use a non-dairy yogurt or skip the yogurt altogether and use additional milk.
- vanilla protein powder – my favorite brand of protein powder is Nuzest! Use code eatingbirdfood for 15% off your order. If you don’t have protein powder on hand or aren’t a fan you can use collagen or skip it altogether!
- chia seeds – adds fiber, protein and healthy fats to the recipe. It also absorbs some of the liquid and helps thicken the oats.
- lemon zest – for a hint of brightness! If you’re looking for more lemon flavor feel free to add a squirt of fresh lemon juice to the overnight oats!
- maple syrup – to add a hint of sweetness to the recipe. Feel free to use honey or your favorite sweetener of choice.
- fresh raspberries – can’t have raspberry lemon overnight oats without the raspberries! If you don’t have fresh berries on hand, frozen berries will work just fine.
Mix, Soak Overnight and Enjoy!
Once you have all your ingredients mixed together, simply cover and put the oat mixture in the fridge to soak overnight.
The next morning, grab your overnight oats from the fridge, give the mixture a big stir and top with your favorite toppings. My go-to toppings are fresh berries, lemon zest, chia seeds and coconut flakes.
At this point you can simply dig right in as overnight oats are meant to be eaten cold. See my note below if you’re not keen on eating cold oats.

Raspberry Lemon Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
- ¼ cup full fat plain Greek yogurt or vegan yogurt
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla protein powder
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon pure maple syrup
- ¼ cup fresh raspberries, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Add oats, milk, yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, lemon zest, maple syrup into a bowl or jar and stir together. Gently stir in the raspberries.
- Cover and place in the fridge overnight. If you’re in a rush you can shorten the soak time to 2-4 hours.
- The next morning (or when ready to eat), remove the lid and give the oats a big stir. If they seem too thick you can add a little more milk to loosen the mixture. Top with additional raspberries and serve.

Love the taste of this and I enjoy preparing it the night before and then just taking it out of the fridge in the morning — when I don’t feel like doing anything fancy.
when making this recipe – can you leave out the protein powder, or is there an alternative?
Hi, Jill. You can leave out the protein powder or swap it with a scoop of your favorite nut butter for some extra protein. Let me know how it turns out!
This was so easy to assemble as I had everything I needed in my fridge & pantry! This morning I topped it with a extra raspberries as suggested and added just a few dark chocolate chips. Can’t wait to try it with blueberries!
