If you love a grab-and-go breakfast that keeps you full all morning, you’ll want to try these Protein Overnight Oats.
They take just a few minutes to prep and are packed with fibre, protein, and heart-healthy ingredients. I like making a few jars at once so breakfast is ready to go all week and then I just add my favourite toppings in the morning!
Ingredient Highlights
Oats: The base of this recipe, providing fibre to help keep you full and support healthy digestion. Rolled oats work best for that creamy texture.
Chia seeds: Add thickness and a boost of omega-3 fats and fibre.
Protein powder: The secret to turning your oats into a balanced, high-protein meal. I like to use vanilla protein powder. My current go-to is the brand Good Protein.
Milk of choice: Use dairy or a fortified plant-based milk for extra calcium and protein.
Maple syrup: Optional for a touch of sweetness.
Dash of salt: Helps bring out the natural flavours.
Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 scoop protein powder of choice (I like Good Protein vanilla)
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
- Dash of salt
Toppings in the morning: fresh berries + mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a jar or container, combine oats, chia seeds, protein powder, maple syrup (if using), and salt.
- Pour in milk and stir well until everything is combined.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, give it a good stir and add your toppings — I love berries and a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips!
Storage
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days. For the best texture, add toppings just before serving.
Tips
- If your oats seem too thick in the morning, add a splash of milk and stir.
- To make multiple servings, simply double or triple the recipe and portion into jars.
FAQs: Protein Overnight Oats
Yes, but the texture will be softer. Rolled oats give the best creamy result.
You can, but the oats will have less protein. Try adding Greek yogurt or cottage cheese instead for a boost.
They’re delicious straight from the fridge, but you can also warm them in the microwave if you prefer
