# Instructions:
01 -
In a jar or container (at least 12-16 oz), combine 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats and 1 tbsp chia seeds. This forms the essential foundation for your High-Protein Overnight Oats | Quick & Easy Breakfast.
02 -
Pour in 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk. Add 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based) and 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt for that protein power-up.
03 -
Stir in 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon. These sweet and spiced accents enhance the overall flavor of your High-Protein Overnight Oats | Quick & Easy Breakfast.
04 -
Stir all ingredients vigorously until well combined and there are no lumps from the protein powder. Scrape down the sides of the jar to ensure even distribution of all components.
05 -
Cover the jar tightly with a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and thicken into a creamy, delicious consistency.
06 -
The next morning, uncover your High-Protein Overnight Oats | Quick & Easy Breakfast. Top with 1/4 cup fresh or frozen berries, 1 tbsp almond butter, and 1 tsp hemp seeds.
07 -
Give your High-Protein Overnight Oats | Quick & Easy Breakfast a final stir, if desired, to mix in the toppings. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, protein-packed start to the day!
# Notes:
01 -
For a thicker consistency, add an extra 1/2 tablespoon of chia seeds. If you prefer it thinner, stir in a splash more almond milk before serving.
02 -
This recipe is highly customizable! Feel free to swap berries for sliced banana or diced apple, and almond butter for peanut or cashew butter.
03 -
Store prepared overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
04 -
If using frozen berries, add them when you mix the oats; they will thaw overnight and release their juices, adding extra flavor and a beautiful color.
