High Protein Overnight Oats
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Diet: High Protein, Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla or chocolate protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
- Optional: 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness
Instructions
- In a mason jar or an airtight glass container, add the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together to ensure the protein powder is evenly distributed.
- Pour the almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract into the jar. If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, add your maple syrup or honey at this stage.
- Use a spoon to stir the mixture vigorously. Make sure to reach the bottom corners of the jar to break up any dry clumps of protein powder. The mixture should look well-combined and slightly liquidy.
- Secure the lid tightly on the jar. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though leaving it overnight for 8 hours results in the best, creamiest texture.
