Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a sealable mason jar, pour in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, followed by ½ cup of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt. Then, add 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 scoop of your chosen protein powder, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the oats are fully submerged in the liquid and everything is well mixed.
  2. Choose your desired flavor for your High-Protein Overnight Oats. For instance, for Banana Bread, mix in 1 mashed ripe banana and a sprinkle of cinnamon. If you're leaning towards Pumpkin Spice Latte, add ¼ cup of pumpkin puree along with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and pumpkin pie spices. Stir these additional ingredients well to combine flavors deliciously.
  3. Once everything is mixed, securely seal the mason jar with a lid. Place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  4. The next morning, take your High-Protein Overnight Oats from the fridge. If the mixture seems too thick, stir in a splash of almond milk to reach your preferred consistency. Top your oats with any additional ingredients you enjoy, such as fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey.
  5. Your delicious High-Protein Overnight Oats are now ready to enjoy! You can eat them chilled straight from the jar or warm them up in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.
