A quick and easy overnight oats recipe boosted with vanilla protein powder for a filling, protein-packed breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • ½ tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup fresh berries (for topping)
  • ½ tablespoon almond butter (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Combine ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats, ¾ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, ½ tablespoon chia seeds, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon in a small jar or container.
  2. Put a lid on the jar and refrigerate overnight or for at least 1–2 hours.
  3. In the morning, remove the jar and stir the mixture until combined.
  4. If the oats are too thick, add a splash of milk or water and stir to loosen.
  5. If skipping protein powder, stir in ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt when mixing.
  6. Alternatively, stir in ¼ cup cottage cheese when mixing.
  7. Stir in chopped nuts or a spoonful of nut butter as a protein mix-in, if desired.

Notes

Oats can be eaten cold straight from the fridge or warmed in the microwave for 30-60 seconds., Make ahead and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days., Longer soaking results in softer, creamier oats; shorter soaking yields chewier texture., Protein mix-in options include Greek yogurt (+4g protein), cottage cheese (+7g protein), nuts, or nut butters.
