High Protein Overnight Oats
These healthy high protein overnight oats are a healthy and delicious plant-based breakfast that is perfect for meal prepping!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- ⅓ cup Protein powder
- 2 tablespoon Maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup Almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Peanut butter natural
Instructions
- Into a large mixing bowl, add the oats, chia seeds, protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, kosher salt, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and peanut butter and mix until well combined.
- Transfer the oat mixture to mason jars, and seal them tightly. Place the jars in the fridge to let the oats and chia seeds to soften and soak up the liquids. This takes a minimum of a few hours.
- Remove the jars from the fridge and top with your favorite toppings that you have in your kitchen! We love to top ours with sliced banana, berries, and extra peanut butter!
Notes
- Wait at least 2 hours. These oats are best eaten the day after "overnight oats", but if you are in a rush, and forgot to make them, wait at least 2 hours to let most of the liquids soak up into the chia seeds and oats.
- Use rolled oats! Rolled oats, or old-fashioned oats, are ultimate for overnight oats. They hold onto their shape and they soak the liquids very well.
- Make the mixture looser by adding milk. If you like your overnight oats less thick, simply add a little bit of milk until you get the best consistency.
- If you are in a rush, we recommend using quick oats and adding less milk. The quick oats soak up the milk quicker, but they soak up less milk than rolled oats.
- Make this recipe your own by adding your favorite flavors and toppings like berries, chocolate chips, different flavors of protein powder, different nuts and seeds, etc.
- Sweeten Naturally. Use natural sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, or mashed bananas instead of refined sugars for a healthier option.
- Top it Off. Before serving, add toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, or granola for added texture and nutrients to make your protein overnight oats even more satisfying.
