Overnight Oats With Protein Powder – 3 ways!

Overnight Oats with Protein Powder is an incredibly easy egg free breakfast full of nutrition to keep you fueled and full until lunch! And with three tasty varieties you can mix it up each day!

Overnight Oats with Protein Powder

One thing I’m constantly looking for is a variety of easy breakfast options. I’m a creature of habit and could eat the same thing literally EVERY morning. But in the name of nutritional diversity and because not everyone in my family feels the same way, I’ve been reaching for recipes throughout the week like this one.

High protein overnight oats – because protein is essential, especially first thing in the morning and because who doesn’t love breakfast that’s ready to be eaten first thing!?

What You Need:

The ingredients listed below are for the Original variation of this recipe. A few more ingredients are needed if you choose one of the other two flavors. (See recipe card below.)

• Old fashioned rolled oats – not quick oats as they get too mushy
• Milk – I love this recipe with coconut milk but you can use any nut or dairy milk you like
• Protein powder – I recommend either unflavored or vanilla for all the high protein variations
• Chia seeds 
• Vanilla extract – not needed if you are using a vanilla protein powder but highly recommended if you are not
• Maple syrup – my sweetener of choice although honey or sugar can also be used to taste
• Whole flax seeds – you could also freshly grind the seeds if you prefer
• Ground cinnamon
• Salt – just a pinch brings out so many additional flavors

How To Make Overnight Oats

One of the best things about this recipe (aside from it being ready in the morning) is that there is no cooking involved! Grab a jar, pour in the ingredients, mix and place the jar in the fridge. That’s it! This is also a great recipe to have your kids make ahead for themselves.

More Easy Breakfast Ideas:

• Chia Seed Pudding with Strawberries
• Prosciutto Egg Cups
• Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies
• Vegan Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins
