Description

Protein Overnight Oats are a quick, nutritious, and customizable breakfast packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Made with oats, protein powder, chia seeds, peanut butter, and banana, this easy-to-make meal will keep you full and energized throughout the morning.


Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats (regular or gluten-free)

1/2 small banana, sliced

2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

1/2 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon protein powder

1/21 tablespoon natural creamy peanut butter (or other nut/seed butters)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

23 teaspoons pure maple syrup

Dash of sea salt


Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the oats, chia seeds, maple syrup, peanut butter, vanilla extract, protein powder, and a dash of sea salt.
  2. Stir in the almond milk until all ingredients are well combined.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to soak and the flavors to meld together.
  4. Before serving, top with freshly sliced banana for added flavor and texture.

Notes

For a vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and any nut or seed milk like oat or coconut milk.

Add cocoa powder or cinnamon for a flavored twist.

Swap peanut butter for almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor.

Mix in other fruits like berries, apples, or raisins for variety.
