Protein Overnight Oats (Printable)

Creamy, protein-enriched overnight oats with chia, Greek yogurt and berries for a convenient, nourishing breakfast.

# What You Need:

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

02 - 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice

03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

04 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds

05 - 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder

06 - 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey

07 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

08 - 1/2 cup fresh berries

09 - 2 tablespoons chopped nuts

10 - 1 tablespoon nut butter

01 - In a mixing bowl or large jar, add rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and protein powder.

02 - Add maple syrup or honey and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.

03 - Cover tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid.

04 - In the morning, stir well. Add extra milk for a softer texture if preferred.

05 - Top with fresh berries, chopped nuts, and nut butter if desired. Serve chilled.

01 -

This breakfast is like a gentle pat on the back for busy mornings when energy is low.
These oats are endlessly customizable, so boredom never stands a chance.

02 -

Neglecting to stir well means the protein powder clumps at the bottom and hides there, so don’t skip this part.
Letting the mixture soak at least eight hours is non-negotiable—anything less, and you’ll trade creaminess for chewiness.

03 -

Dissolving protein powder in a little milk before mixing with the oats prevents grit.
Chill portions in single-serve jars for easy grab-and-go mornings—it’s a lifesaver on busy days.
