FAQs

Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats?

Yes, though the texture will be softer. Old-fashioned oats offer a chewier consistency.

Is it okay to skip the protein powder?

Absolutely. It adds protein but isn’t necessary for flavor or texture.

How can I make this dairy-free?

Use plant-based milk, yogurt, and a vegan cream cheese alternative.

What can I use instead of strawberry yogurt?

Vanilla or plain Greek yogurt work well; add fresh or frozen strawberries for flavor.

Can I prep multiple servings ahead?

Yes! Multiply the recipe and store individual portions in jars for the week.

Can I add fresh fruit to the mixture before refrigerating?

Yes, mixing in berries early adds flavor throughout the oats.

Will the graham crackers get soggy?

They will soften if stored with the oats. For crunch, add them just before eating.

Is this recipe suitable for kids?

Yes, it’s kid-friendly and can be sweetened naturally with fruit.

Can I use flavored protein powder?

Yes, vanilla or strawberry flavors complement the recipe nicely.

How long do these oats last in the fridge?

They stay fresh for up to 4 days when properly stored in an airtight container.
