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

  1. In a jar or bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk (or milk alternative), and protein powder. Stir well to ensure the protein powder dissolves.
  2. Add the sliced banana, chia seeds, and honey or maple syrup. Stir everything together until well combined.
  3. Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
