  • Author: Zohra
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Description

Creamy, satisfying High-Protein Overnight Oats with over 40 grams of protein. Prep in 5 minutes, chill overnight, and wake up to a ready, customizable breakfast jar.


Ingredients

Scale

½ cup unsweetened almond milk (plain or vanilla; add more if needed)

¼ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (use coconut or almond yogurt for dairy-free)

½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)

1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)

½ tablespoon chia seeds

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Flavor add-ins (choose one):

Banana Bread – ½ mashed ripe banana, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, banana slices for topping

Pumpkin Spice Latte – ¼ cup pumpkin purée, 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Apple Pie – ¼–⅓ cup diced apple, 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, pecans for topping

Peanut Butter & Jelly – 1–2 tablespoons peanut butter, ¼ cup diced fresh strawberries, ¼ cup extra almond milk

Peaches ‘n Cream – ¼ peach diced, 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ cup extra almond milk

Coconut Bliss – 1–2 tablespoons shredded coconut, sliced banana for topping


Instructions

1. Combine oats, protein powder, yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla, and almond milk in a sealable jar or container; stir thoroughly so all oats are soaked.

2. Select and mix in one flavor combination from the list.

3. Seal and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.

4. Before eating, stir well; add more almond milk if too thick. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or nut butter if desired.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; quick oats are acceptable but softer. Do not use steel-cut oats.

Any milk works: almond, oat, skim, cashew, or 2%.

For dairy-free, use coconut or almond yogurt.

Keep liquid just above a 1:1 ratio with oats to account for protein powder.

Freeze portions and thaw in the fridge overnight if needed.

Enjoy cold or warm in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
