Notes

Notes

  • Protein powder: You can use any flavor of protein powder you like. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, caramel and cookies & cream all work well.
  • Milk: Use dairy milk or your favorite plant-based milk. Almond milk works particularly well.
  • Texture: Different protein powders absorb different amounts of liquid. If your oats are too thick the next morning, simply add a little more milk.
  • Optional add-ins: Chia seeds, vanilla extract and maple syrup aren't necessary for the base recipe, but can be added according to your taste.
  • Toppings: Try fresh berries, banana, peanut butter, almond butter, nuts, granola or chocolate chips.
 

Storage

Fridge: Store in an airtight container or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze: I don't recommend freezing these overnight oats as the Greek yogurt can change texture when frozen and thawed.
Meal-Prep: Prepare several servings at once and store them individually in the fridge for an easy grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
 
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your overnight oats will come out perfectly.
