Ingredients

Protein Overnight Oats

  • 1/2 cup old fashioned or rolled oats 50g
  • 2 tsp chia seeds 6g
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar or honey 20g
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt 110g
  • 1 Tbsp peanut butter or nut butter 16g
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen berries 125g
  • 2/3 cup milk of your choice 160g

Optional Topping:

  • fresh berries
  • chopped nuts
  • peanut butter or nut butter

Instructions

  • Add 1/2 cup rolled oats, 2 tsp chia seeds, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 Tbsp peanut butter, 1 cup frozen berries, and 2/3 cup of milk into a mason jar or bowl. Mix together until combined.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • When you're ready to eat the oats, remove a container from the fridge. Give the oats a good stir to mix the ingredients together. You’ll see that the oats absorbed a lot of the liquid, so you might want to add a little more water or milk of your choice before eating.
  • If desired, top with additional fresh berries, chopped nuts and/or a spoonful of peanut butter and enjoy cold!
  • These protein overnight oats keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
