Busy mornings don’t have to mean skipping a balanced breakfast. These high-protein overnight oats are easy to prepare ahead of time and provide steady energy to help you start the day feeling full and satisfied. With fiber-rich oats, protein, and healthy fats, this simple recipe supports blood sugar stability and keeps you fueled without a morning rush.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop protein powder of choice (~20 g protein)
- ½–¾ cup 2% milk or milk of choice (enough to fully cover oats and allow proper soaking)
- 1 Tbsp chia seeds
- ¼–⅓ cup frozen or fresh berries (I love adding frozen raspberries)
- ½–1 Tbsp peanut butter (optional)
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed (optional)
Instructions
- Add oats, protein powder, and chia seeds to a jar or bowl.
- Pour in the milk until the mixture is just covered (about ½–¾ cup). Stir well so the protein powder dissolves fully.
- If using, stir in the peanut butter and ground flaxseed.
- Top with berries.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, stir and add a splash of milk if needed to reach your preferred consistency.
