Description
These high protein overnight oats pack over 30g of protein in a creamy, dessert-like breakfast that takes just 5 minutes to prep. Wake up to a nutritious meal that keeps you full all morning.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 scoop (30g) protein powder
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ¼ cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the oats, protein powder, and chia seeds in your container. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to prevent clumping.
- Pour in the milk, yogurt, and maple syrup. Mix until well combined, making sure to stir up any chunks of protein powder stuck on the bottom.
- Cover with a lid and place into the fridge overnight or for at least 5 hours to allow the oats to soften.
- Before eating, add extra toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or nut butter for more flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use vanilla or chocolate protein powder for best flavor – unflavored can taste bland
- Let oats sit for 10 minutes after mixing before refrigerating for even absorption
- Prepare multiple jars at once for meal prep – they’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days
- Can be enjoyed cold or warmed in microwave for 30-60 seconds
