Ingredients :

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method :

  1. Add the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds to a jar or sealable container and stir to combine.
  2. Pour in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and no dry clumps remain.
  4. Seal the container with a lid and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  5. Stir well before eating, adding an extra splash of milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.

Recipe Notes :

Chef Pro Tip: Mix the dry ingredients first to prevent the protein powder from clumping at the bottom. Variation: Swap vanilla protein powder for chocolate protein powder and top with sliced bananas. Storage: Keep sealed in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use steel cut oats instead of rolled oats?

We recommend using old-fashioned rolled oats because steel cut oats will remain too tough and chewy even after soaking overnight.

What type of protein powder works best?

Whey, casein, or plant-based protein powders all work well, though plant-based protein may absorb more liquid, requiring an extra splash of milk.

How long do protein overnight oats last in the fridge?

You can store these overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
