Description
Easy Protein Overnight Oats are a nutritious and customizable breakfast, packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, these oats are perfect for busy mornings and can be made ahead of time.
Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk or milk alternative
1 scoop protein powder
1/2 banana, sliced
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- In a jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk (or milk alternative), and protein powder. Stir well to ensure the protein powder dissolves.
- Add the sliced banana, chia seeds, and honey or maple syrup. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
- The next morning, stir the oats. You can enjoy them cold straight from the fridge or heat them in the microwave for a warm breakfast.
- Top with extra fruits, nuts, or seeds, if desired.
Notes
Vegan Version: Use a plant-based protein powder and a dairy-free milk alternative like almond or oat milk.
Fruit Mix-In: Add fresh or frozen berries, chopped apples, or dried fruit to customize the flavor.
Nutty Version: Top with almonds, walnuts, or peanut butter for extra protein and crunch.
Chocolate Lovers: Add cocoa powder or chocolate chips for a sweet touch without compromising health.
