Overnight Protein Oats (480 Cal)
Nutrition
This is my go-to breakfast when I want something high-protein without touching a stove. Five minutes of work the night before, and in the morning you just open the fridge and eat.
The chocolate whey protein turns regular overnight oats into a 47g protein meal — that is more than most chicken breast recipes. The chia seeds thicken everything overnight and add 9g of fiber, so it keeps you full well past lunch. If you are tracking macros, use our macro calculator to see how this fits your daily targets.
Use whatever milk you have — whole, skim, almond, oat. The calorie difference between whole milk and skim here is only about 25 calories, so pick whichever you like. Same with berries — blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, whatever is on sale. If you are meal prepping, make 3-4 jars on Sunday night — they keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (40g)
- 1 scoop chocolate whey protein (30g)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, nonfat (120g)
- 1/2 cup milk (80g)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds (12g)
- Mixed berries (50g)
Instructions
-
Step 1: Combine dry ingredients
Add rolled oats, chocolate whey protein, and chia seeds to a mason jar or container with a lid.
-
Step 2: Add wet ingredients
Pour in the Greek yogurt and milk. Stir everything together until the protein powder is fully mixed in.
-
Step 3: Top with berries
Add the mixed berries on top. Do not stir them in, they will bleed color into the oats.
-
Step 4: Refrigerate overnight
Close the lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. The oats and chia seeds will absorb the liquid and thicken.
-
Step 5: Eat cold
Take it out of the fridge and eat straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. No heating needed.
