Protein Overnight Oats
Description
Protein Overnight Oats combine old-fashioned rolled oats with unsweetened vanilla almond milk, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, a touch of vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Refrigerated overnight, the oats and seeds absorb the liquid, developing a creamy, thick texture without cooking.
The mixture is stirred before serving to distribute flavors evenly. Fresh berries add a juicy pop, while almond butter contributes richness and healthy fats. This dish offers a balance of protein, fiber, and flavor, making it suitable for a nourishing start to the day or a quick snack.
Alternatives to protein powder suggested in the notes include adding plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or chopped nuts and nut butters to increase protein content without powder supplement. The oats can be adjusted in consistency by adding more liquid if needed before serving.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats old fashioned
- ¾ cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 1 coop protein powder vanilla
- ½ Tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup fresh berries for topping
- ½ Tablespoon almond butter for topping
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except the toppings in a small container.
- Cover container with a lid and place in the fridge overnight (or at least 1-2 hours).
- Bring out of the fridge in the morning and stir. You'll notice that the protein powder, oats and chia seeds soak up a lot of the liquid so you may want to add a little more almond milk or water before serving.
- Top with toppings of your choice and enjoy. I used ½ cup blueberries and ½ Tablespoon almond butter for the nutrition facts on these.
Notes
- If avoiding protein powder, incorporate ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or ¼ cup cottage cheese to boost protein.
- Adding chopped nuts or nut butters increases protein and adds healthy fats for fullness.
- Adjust liquid amounts before serving if the mixture is too thick after soaking.
