Scrumptious Overnight Oats with Protein Powder

Overnight oats are a great way to make a healthy breakfast without having to wake up at the crack of dawn to prepare it. Simply mix up your oats and other ingredients the night before, tuck them away in the fridge, and they’ll be ready in the morning.

While oats already contain a fair amount of protein, 5 grams for every 1/4 cup of dry uncooked oats, adding protein powder to your morning porridge gives you an added boost of energy and will help keep your muscles fueled for whatever you might face.

With our recipe, you get over 30 grams of protein in each cup of finished oats. Add even more with peanut butter, Greek yogurt, or a protein-packed cup of coffee to start your morning off right.

Overnight Oats with Protein Powder

Our overnight oats with protein powder recipe is a spin on The Conscious Plant Kitchen’s recipe. While the original recipe is made using vegan ingredients such as vegan protein powder, plant-based milk, and maple syrup or brown sugar, you can certainly use cow’s milk, whey protein, and honey instead.

One important thing to note before we dive into the recipe is that overnight oats recipes in general work best with old-fashioned rolled oats. Instant oats will become soggy and steel-cut oats will be tough and chewy, and just like with Goldilocks, the old-fashioned oats are just right.

This recipe makes 3 cups of finished oats, enough for the whole family or for one person to spread out over the next few mornings as a super simple breakfast meal prep. You can use whatever flavor of protein powder you like: vanilla protein powder is probably your safest bet along with chocolate protein powder.

You can top your oats however you like. Using peanut butter, almond butter, or other nut butters helps boost your early morning protein intake even higher.

Why not make your oats into an Instagram-worthy mason jar parfait with layers of oats, greek yogurt, and fruit? You can get as creative as you like with this protein overnight oats recipe.
