High Protein Overnight Oats Without Protein Powder
Description
High Protein Overnight Oats Without Protein Powder combines rolled oats, chia seeds, and collagen powder as its protein sources. Liquids like coconut and almond milks hydrate the oats and chia seeds, resulting in a thick and chewy base that absorbs flavors while resting overnight in the fridge. The topping of melted mini chocolate chips mixed with coconut yogurt and coconut oil adds a creamy, slightly sweet finish that blends smoothly with the oats.
The oats and chia create a substantial texture with some thickness from the collagen powder, which differs from typical protein powders by not absorbing as much liquid. The cooking-free method involves simply mixing and refrigerating, requiring at least four hours to let the ingredients meld and thicken properly.
This recipe is ideal when prepared ahead and enjoyed chilled, suitable as a filling breakfast or snack. The chocolate yogurt topping gives a pleasant contrast in texture and flavor, making it more satisfying. It can be stored refrigerated in a sealed container for 2–3 days.
Using canned coconut milk drained of excess water is important for the creamy consistency. Remixing after five minutes of setting allows chia seeds to distribute evenly and prevents clumping. For those who prefer a smoother texture, blending the oat mixture before adding the topping is an option.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup rolled oats gluten-free as needed
- 3 tbs collagen powder
- 1.5 tbs chia seeds
- 3 tbs coconut milk

Notes
- Use canned coconut milk and drain off the watery part to ensure a thick, creamy base.

- This recipe yields one large serving or two small snack-sized portions.
- Store leftover oats in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days.
- Collagen powder works better than vegan protein powders for this recipe, as it does not absorb as much liquid.
