Equipment

  • mason jar or any airtight container with a lid

Ingredients

"Base" Protein Overnight Oats Recipe

  • ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop protein powder choice of flavor
  • cup milk of choice
  • 2 Tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon chia seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional sweetener

Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats

  • chocolate protein powder
  • 2 Tablespoons chocolate chips or cacao nibs

Blueberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats

  • vanilla protein powder
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries

Strawberry Shortcake Overnight Oats

  • strawberry protein powder
  • ½ cup strawberries chopped

Instructions

  • Decide which flavor of overnight oats you want to make.
  • To a mason jar, add a scoop of protein powder and all ingredients of the "base" recipe. Depending on the flavor you are making, top with fruit or chocolate.
  • Stir the mixture well and cover with an airtight lid. Keep oats in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before eating. Ideally, let them soak overnight to allow the oats to fully soften, they are best eaten the next morning.

Notes

  • Stir oats well before eating.
  • Add a splash of milk if you overnight oats are too thick.
  • Old fashioned rolled oats are the best for making overnight oats. It will give you the best texture for overnight oats. Quick oats will be soggy. Steel cut oats will not soften much and cause your oats to be chewier.
  • The protein powder brands I use are Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein and Signature Whey Protein (linked in the post)
  • I find that these 16 ounce wide mouth mason jars work best. (linked in post)
