Description
Protein-packed overnight oats are a delicious and nutritious make-ahead breakfast option that will keep you full and energized throughout the morning. This recipe combines the goodness of rolled oats, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, protein powder, and a touch of sweetness for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
Rolled Oats:
1/2 cup
Greek Yogurt:
1/2 cup
Milk:
1/2 cup
Chia Seeds:
1 tbsp
Protein Powder:
1 scoop
Honey or Maple Syrup:
1 tsp
Salt:
Pinch
Instructions
- Grab your jar. A 12-ounce mason jar or meal-prep container is perfect. Wide mouths are easier to stir.
- Mix dry ingredients. Add ½ cup oats, 1 tbsp chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Shake the jar to combine—no clumps!
- Blend wet ingredients. In a bowl, whisk ½ cup Greek yogurt, ½ cup milk, 1 scoop protein powder (if using), and 1 tsp honey until smooth.
- Combine and stir. Pour the wet mix into the jar with the oats. Stir vigorously for 30 seconds—this prevents chia seeds from clumping.
- Rest overnight. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (ideal: 8 hours). The oats will plump up into a pudding-like texture.
- Top and devour. Next morning, add fresh berries, a nut butter drizzle, or dark chocolate chips. Eat cold or microwave for 30 seconds if you prefer warmth.
