If you are tired of rushing in the morning, these protein overnight oats are going to be your new best friend. They are incredibly creamy and taste just like a bowl of vanilla pudding, but they provide the fuel you need to get your day started right.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how versatile it is. You can make it plain or stir in your favorite fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds right before you dig in. Just remember to use a good quality protein powder that you enjoy, as that really sets the flavor for the whole jar.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup milk of your choice
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Grab a clean jar or a bowl with a lid.

  2. 2

    Add the oats, protein powder, and chia seeds to the container.

  3. 3

    Pour in the milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, and sweetener if you are using it.

  4. 4

    Stir everything well until the protein powder is fully dissolved and there are no dry clumps of oats.

  5. 5

    Cover the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight.

  6. 6

    Give it a quick stir in the morning and add a splash more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.

💡 Tips

These oats stay fresh in the fridge for up to four days, making them perfect for meal prep. Add your toppings like fresh berries, nut butter, or granola right before eating to keep them crunchy. If the mixture gets too thick after sitting for a few days, just stir in an extra tablespoon of milk.
