Ingredients

  • ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1 coop 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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all ingredients except the toppings in a small container.
  2. Cover container with a lid and place in the fridge overnight (or at least 1-2 hours).
  3. 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.
  4. 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 you don't have protein powder on hand or simply don't want to use it, here are some other ways to add protein to your overnight oats!
  • Greek yogurt: Add ¼ cup of plain Greek yogurt to the overnight oats mixture. This will add about 4 grams of protein, depending on what brand you use.
  • Cottage cheese: Add ¼ cup cottage cheese to the overnight oats mixture. This will about around 7 grams of protein.
  • Nuts and nut butter: Chopped nuts and/or nut butter are a great way to add a little bit of extra protein to your overnight oats. They also add healthy fats, which will make the oats even more filling!
