Protein Overnight Oats (Printable)

Protein-rich overnight oats with almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia and vanilla—chill for 8 hours for a 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 - In a large mixing bowl or jar, add rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and protein powder.

02 - Add maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until fully combined and smooth.

03 - Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow absorption and thickening.

04 - In the morning, stir the oats thoroughly. Add additional milk if a thinner texture is desired.

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

01 -

This is the fastest way to a creamy, satisfying breakfast that feels almost like a treat, not a chore.
You can change up the toppings and flavors depending on your mood, which keeps things interesting every single week.

02 -

Mix the protein powder thoroughly—clumps hiding at the bottom have ruined more than one of my early attempts.
Overnight chilling truly matters; a quick soak doesn’t give the oats or chia time to absorb enough liquid for that silky finish.

03 -

Always add wet ingredients to the oats before stirring in the protein powder for a smoother blend.
Chilling overnight on the bottom shelf of your fridge keeps the oats extra creamy and cold—just what you want on a busy morning.
