Protein Overnight Oats
Description
This Protein Overnight Oats recipe starts by mixing old fashioned oats with chia seeds, cinnamon, maple syrup, protein powder, and milk of choice. The mixture is portioned into jars and refrigerated for at least four hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften while thickening the blend. This creates a creamy texture combining mild sweetness and warming cinnamon notes alongside a protein boost from the powder.
The recipe’s flexibility allows use of any milk variety, including dairy-free options, and any protein powder, adapting to dietary needs. Refrigeration for up to three days supports meal prepping for multiple breakfasts. When served, the oats can be topped with fruits, nuts, or other desired additions to add texture and flavor.
