Protein Overnight Oats

Do you want a quick and delicious breakfast option that never gets old? Try protein overnight oats! This meal has so many benefits; it keeps you full for hours afterward, takes five minutes to prepare, is a great source of protein after a morning workout, and satisfies your sweet tooth. Plus, you can change the flavor each day by varying the toppings you add. If you’re like me, once you make it, you can never go back. The following recipe serves one person. 

• ½ cup rolled oats 

• 1 tbsp of chia seeds

• 2 tbsp greek yogurt 

• ½ cup protein shake or milk of your choice

• 1-2 tbsp of semi-sweet chocolate chips 

• Cinnamon to taste 

• Optional: Protein powder 

• I use one scoop of vanilla Pure Protein powder

• Optional: Toppings of your choice (add the morning of). Some ideas: 

• Berries 

• Bananas

• Peanut Butter

• Honey

Grab a small-to-medium-sized Tupperware container, preferably, that holds about 2 cups of food/drink. Then, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and chocolate chips to the bottom of the container. Then, add the protein shake or milk of your choice. ½ cup of the protein shake should be enough, but feel free to add more if the oats, chia seeds, and chocolate chips are not completely covered by the liquid (depending on your preferred texture of oatmeal, add more or less liquid). Then, mix. Add in yogurt, cinnamon, and protein powder. Mix all together until properly combined. Place the cap on and pop it in the fridge. The next morning, add the toppings of your choice and enjoy!
