Question 1

I can't find Jello sugar free cheesecake pudding mix in Canada. What can I use?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, it's unavailable in Canada. I have a few solutions:

1. Buy it off Amazon. The con is it's insanely expensive.

2. Add it to your cart for your next US trip. If you head to the U.S, this is the best option. I ordered mine from Amazon US and had a case delivered to my hotel at Disneyland.

3. Use sugar-free vanilla pudding mix instead. The pudding mix made as a pudding itself tastes like vanilla pudding, not cheesecake (in my opinion). The taste happens when I mix it with the greek yogurt, but even that is fairly subtle and I feel that vanilla pudding mix would be just as delicious (just a tiny bit different).

Question 2

Can I use something other than protein powder?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can add protein to these oats by using Greek Yogurt instead. Start with 2 tablespoons and work your way up to whatever taste you prefer. I add 1/2 cup to my strawberry cheesecake overnight oats, but I love Greek Yogurt.

Question 3

Can you eat overnight oats hot?

Accepted Answer

They are best served cold, but you can certainly heat them in the microwave. I would start with 30-second intervals until warm.

Question 4

How long can I keep protein overnight oats in the fridge?

Accepted Answer

They will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days. Make sure you keep them in a sealed container.

Question 5

What is the minimum time needed for overnight oats?

Accepted Answer

Although they are called overnight oats, they do not need to soak for that long. If you’re in a pinch, I recommend a chill time of at least 2 hours before eating.

Question 6

What protein powder should I use for a high protein overnight oats?

Accepted Answer

Whey protein mixes in really well and provides a smoother finish vs plant based protein. I have used Legion, Bowmar Nutrition, and Diesel all with good results.

Question 7

Can I use plant based protein powder in overnight oats?

Accepted Answer

Yes, of course you can. Keep in mind, certain brands are grittier than others due to the pea protein. I really like Good Protein.

Question 8

Can I add different fruits?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! I've used cherries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries or whatever berries I have in the fridge etc to customize the flavor of the cheesecake overnight oats.

Question 9

How can I make this sweeter?

Accepted Answer

If you want a little more sweetness (some protein powders are not sweet so you may need to add it yourself) you can try some of Wholesome Yum's sweeteners (for a zero calorie option) or a little honey or maple syrup. That being said, the latter options will add calories and change the macros.
