Description
A quick and nutritious breakfast option, high-protein overnight oats are customizable and provide sustained energy throughout your busy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (plain or vanilla)
- ¼ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (for non-vegan option)
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free certified or regular)
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ spotty banana (mashed)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Sliced banana for topping
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree
- 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- ¾ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ – ⅓ cup apple (small cubes—plus more for topping)
- Pecans for topping
- 1–2 tablespoons peanut butter
- ¼ cup fresh strawberries (diced)
- ¼ cup almond milk (additional)
- ¼ of a peach (diced)
- 1–2 tablespoons shredded coconut
Instructions
- Add the base ingredients: oats, almond milk, protein powder, chia seeds, mashed banana, and cinnamon into a sealable mason jar or small container.
- Stir well to ensure all the oats are fully submerged in the almond milk. If it looks too dry, add an additional splash of almond milk.
- Choose your flavor. If you’re leaning towards a pumpkin spice theme, add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. For a fruity flavor, toss in diced apples or strawberries.
- Secure the lid tightly on the jar or container and place it in the refrigerator to soak overnight or for at least six hours.
- In the morning, check the consistency and add more almond milk if you prefer a thinner texture.
- Top with your choice of fruits, nuts, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey as desired. Enjoy chilled!
