Protein-Packed Overnight Oats

How to Make Protein-Packed Overnight Oats

1. 1

   Step 1: Combine dry ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder and sea salt until evenly distributed. Make sure there are no protein powder clumps to ensure a smooth final texture.

   For this step

   • 2 cupsRolled oats
   • 4 tbspChia seeds
   • 4 scoops (30 g each)Vanilla protein powder
   • 1/4 tspSea salt
   
2. 2

   Step 2: Add wet ingredients

   Add the milk, Greek yogurt, almond butter and maple syrup to the dry mix. Whisk or stir vigorously until the almond butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and uniform; warm the almond butter briefly if it is too stiff to blend.

   For this step

   • 2 cupsLow-fat milk (2%)
   • 1 1/2 cupsPlain nonfat Greek yogurt
   • 4 tbspAlmond butter
   • 2 tbspMaple syrup

   Step 3: Adjust texture and portion

   Evaluate the consistency — it should be creamy but not soupy. If too thick, whisk in up to 1/2 cup (120 ml) additional milk, then divide the oats evenly among four airtight jars or containers.

   Step 4: Chill overnight

   Cover each jar and refrigerate for at least 6–10 hours (overnight) to allow the oats and chia to soften and the flavors to meld. For best texture, shake or stir once after an hour if possible, then leave to set the rest of the time.

   Step 5: Serve and garnish

   Top each jar with mixed berries just before eating and, if desired, an extra drizzle of almond butter or a sprinkle of seeds. Stir and enjoy chilled, or let sit 10 minutes at room temperature if you prefer slightly softer oats.

   For this step

   • 1 1/2 cupsMixed berries (for topping)
