Description

High-Protein Overnight Oats are a quick and nutritious breakfast option packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. It's customizable and perfect for busy mornings.


Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)

1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 banana, sliced

1 tablespoon nut butter (optional)


Instructions

  1. In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, protein powder, honey (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
  2. Add the sliced banana and nut butter (if using) on top of the oat mixture, then cover the jar or container.
  3. Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soak up the liquid and thicken.
  4. In the morning, give the oats a good stir, add extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency, and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to store the oats in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

The oats can be eaten cold directly from the fridge or warmed in the microwave for 20-30 seconds with a splash of milk.

The recipe is highly customizable with various fruits, nuts, and flavor variations.
