Protein Overnight Oats (Print)

Creamy protein-packed overnight oats with Greek yogurt, chia, and berries for a quick, filling breakfast.

# Ingredient List:

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

02 - 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk or preferred milk

03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds

05 - 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (about 30 grams)

06 - 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

08 - 1/2 cup fresh berries

09 - 2 tablespoons chopped nuts

10 - 1 tablespoon nut butter

01 - Place rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and protein powder in a mixing bowl or large jar.

02 - Add maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract, then mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until the mixture is smooth and cohesive.

03 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid.

04 - Stir well before serving. Add extra milk if a looser texture is preferred.

05 - Top with fresh berries, chopped nuts, and nut butter, if desired. Serve chilled.

01 -

No early alarms needed—the oats are ready when you wake up and secretly feel like dessert.
It's become my favorite grab-and-go breakfast because it's effortlessly customizable for any craving, season, or fridge clean-out.

02 -

If you skip the chia seeds, the oats will be watery instead of thick—learned that after a late night where I forgot them entirely.
Letting the flavors meld overnight makes a bigger difference than you might realize—when I tried to rush it, the texture was never quite right.

03 -

Let the oats rest at least 8 hours for best flavor and creaminess.
Use a wide-mouth jar or bowl, which makes stirring and scooping much less messy in the morning.
