A quick and easy protein-packed overnight oats recipe combining creamy Greek yogurt, rolled oats, and protein powder for a nutritious breakfast that keeps you full and energized.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats
  • ¾ cup (180g) plain Greek yogurt (e.g., Fage Total 0%)
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy or unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (approx. 25g protein, vanilla whey or plant-based)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup (75g) fresh or frozen berries (optional)
  • 2 tbsp nuts or seeds (toasted almonds or walnuts, optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl or jar, add ½ cup rolled oats, 1 tbsp chia seeds, ¼ tsp cinnamon, and 1 scoop protein powder. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt, ½ cup milk of choice, 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup, and ½ tsp vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth and all ingredients are incorporated.
  3. Add berries and nuts: If using, fold in ½ cup fresh or frozen berries and 2 tbsp nuts or seeds for texture and flavor.
  4. Seal and refrigerate: Cover the bowl or jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb liquid and soften.
  5. Morning stir and serve: Stir the oats well before serving. If too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen. Top with additional fresh fruit or a drizzle of honey if desired.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Whisk protein powder with milk first to avoid clumps. Adjust milk quantity for desired consistency. Can be warmed briefly in microwave or enjoyed cold. Store in airtight containers up to 4 days; do not freeze. For dairy-free, swap Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt and use plant-based protein powder.
