Ingredients You’ll Need

1 Weetabix biscuit
30ml skimmed milk
1 low-fat vanilla protein yogurt
50g fresh blueberries
Optional: 1 teaspoon honey for drizzling and a small sprinkle of crushed Weetabix for texture

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create the Base

Start by crumbling one Weetabix biscuit into a small bowl or glass container. Add 30ml of skimmed milk, just enough to soften the Weetabix while still keeping some crunch. Flatten the mixture gently with the back of a spoon to form a solid base — this acts like the crust in your breakfast cheesecake.

Pro Tip: If you want a softer, more pudding-like base, add an extra splash of milk. For a firmer texture, stick to the 30ml measurement or refrigerate for an extra hour.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Layer

In a separate bowl, mix your vanilla protein yogurt with fresh blueberries. Gently fold the berries through to release a touch of their natural juice — this adds a light pink hue and bursts of fruity sweetness. Once combined, spread this creamy blueberry yogurt mixture evenly over the Weetabix base.

Step 3: Add the Finishing Touches

Drizzle a teaspoon of honey on top for a touch of natural sweetness, then sprinkle a few crushed Weetabix crumbs for added texture. Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 4–6 hours).

By morning, the Weetabix will have softened beautifully, and the yogurt layer will thicken slightly, creating that indulgent “cheesecake” feel.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

When ready to eat, you can top it with extra blueberries or even a spoonful of low-sugar blueberry compote for more flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, fruity, and perfectly balanced overnight Weetabix cheesecake bowl.

Why This Recipe Works

Protein Power: Using protein yogurt instead of regular yogurt adds staying power to your breakfast. It helps build muscle, supports metabolism, and keeps hunger at bay.
Perfect Texture: The combination of creamy yogurt and softened Weetabix gives a layered, dessert-like consistency.
Natural Sweetness: Blueberries and honey add sweetness without needing refined sugar.
Quick Prep, Big Payoff: Just 5 minutes of prep and your breakfast is ready for the next morning.

Tips for the Best Overnight Weetabix

Use Fresh Blueberries whenever possible for the brightest flavor. Frozen ones can work too but thaw and drain them first to avoid excess liquid.
Choose a Quality Protein Yogurt — brands like Arla, Lindahls, or Aldi’s protein yogurts have the perfect creamy texture.
Layer in a Jar: If you’re meal-prepping, use a jar with a lid — easy to grab and go.
Add Crunch Before Serving: Sprinkle crushed Weetabix, granola, or chopped nuts right before eating to maintain crunch.
Adjust Sweetness: Taste your yogurt mixture before refrigerating; add more honey or a sugar-free syrup if you prefer sweeter breakfasts.

Variations and Flavor Twists

Chocolate Berry Cheesecake Bowl: Use chocolate protein yogurt and top with raspberries or strawberries.
Peanut Butter Banana: Replace blueberries with banana slices and drizzle natural peanut butter over the top.
Citrus Twist: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to your yogurt mix for a refreshing tang.
Berry Medley: Combine blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries for a colorful, antioxidant-packed version.

Storage Instructions

Your overnight blueberry Weetabix cheesecake bowl can last up to 2 days in the fridge. For the best texture, keep the topping separate if making multiple servings ahead of time. Avoid freezing — the yogurt layer can separate when thawed.

FAQs

Q: Can I use oats instead of Weetabix?
A: Absolutely! Rolled oats work beautifully in this recipe if you prefer a traditional overnight oats texture.

Q: What’s the best yogurt to use?
A: Low-fat protein yogurts are ideal because they provide a cheesecake-like consistency. However, you can also use Greek yogurt, Skyr, or Quark.

Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Yes! Swap dairy yogurt for a plant-based protein yogurt and use almond or oat milk instead of cow’s milk.

Q: Do I need to refrigerate it overnight?
A: Overnight chilling gives the best results, but if you’re short on time, 3–4 hours will still yield a delicious, creamy texture.

Q: Is this good for weight loss or meal prep?
A: Definitely! It’s low in fat, high in protein, and portion-controlled — perfect for weight management and busy mornings.

Pro Tips for Success

Mix It Up Before Eating: For a softer texture, stir the layers before serving. For a cheesecake-style bite, enjoy it layered.
Boost Protein: Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder to the yogurt mix for extra protein.
Enhance Flavor: Add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla extract for a deeper flavor profile.
Presentation: Layer in a clear jar or glass for a picture-perfect, café-style breakfast.
