Protein Overnight Oats (Printable Version)

Protein-packed overnight oats with chia and Greek yogurt for a creamy, ready-made breakfast.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

02 - 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice

03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds

05 - 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla or unflavored protein powder

06 - 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

08 - 1/2 cup fresh berries

09 - 2 tablespoons chopped nuts

10 - 1 tablespoon nut butter

01 - In a large bowl or jar, add rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and protein powder.

02 - Incorporate maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract. Stir until mixture is smooth and uniform.

03 - Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid.

04 - In the morning, stir oats well. If a thinner consistency is preferred, add additional milk as needed.

05 - Top with fresh berries, chopped nuts, and nut butter if desired. Serve chilled.

01 -

You assemble it all the night before so your future self thanks you in the morning.
It keeps you full and energized longer than the usual rushed breakfast bar.

02 -

Stir extra well before refrigerating, or you’ll find sneaky pockets of dry oats in the morning.
Switching up the milk or yogurt can change the creaminess far more than you’d expect.

03 -

Let the oats rest for the full 8 hours—the texture improves dramatically by morning.
Blending the mixture before chilling results in a pudding-smooth consistency if you’re in the mood for something different.
