Description
A delicious and nutritious overnight oats recipe perfect for a quick breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats (or old fashioned oats)
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 – 3 cups milk (any variety)
Instructions
- Set out a large mixing bowl. Combine the oats, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- Add the vanilla protein powder and stir again.
- Add the Greek yogurt, honey, and 2 cups of milk. Stir well. The mixture should have the consistency of loose slightly chunky pancake batter. (It will thicken as the oats absorb the moisture.) If it seems too thick, add additional milk. Stir to combine.
- Scoop the overnight oats into one-cup (half pint) jars. Screw the lids on tight and place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Serve as-is or top with berries, chocolate shavings, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts.
Notes
- The oats will thicken as they absorb the moisture over time.
- Adjust the amount of milk based on your desired consistency.
