Overnight oats with protein powder are delicious, filling, and the perfect breakfast option for those who are needing something quick but healthy. 

These proats are made by soaking rolled oats in milk or yogurt overnight, along with protein powder, sweetener, and any additional mix-ins of your choice. In the morning, the oats will have softened and absorbed the liquid, creating a creamy, flavorful breakfast that is ready to eat.

Are Proats Healthy?

One of the main benefits of adding protein powder to your overnight oats is that it helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the morning. This can be especially useful for those who are busy and need to fuel up for a long day ahead. The protein powder also helps to build and repair muscles, making these oats a great post-workout option as well.

In addition to the protein, overnight oats with protein powder are also packed with nutrients such as fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The oats provide a slow-release of energy, making them a great choice for sustained energy throughout the morning. And with the ability to customize your mix-ins, you can easily make these oats your own and tailor them to your individual tastes and preferences.

Ingredients Needed

• Oats – can use rolled or quick oats

Proat Topping Ideas 

There are countless topping options that you can add to your overnight oats to give them extra flavor and crunch. Some ideas include:

Fresh fruit: Add a variety of fresh fruit to your oats, such as sliced bananas, berries, or diced peaches. You can also try adding dried fruit, such as raisins or cranberries, for a little sweetness.

Nuts and seeds: Top your oats with a sprinkle of nuts or seeds, such as almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, or chia seeds. These add a crunchy texture and a boost of healthy fats and protein.

Nut butters: A spoonful of nut butter, such as peanut butter or almond butter, adds a creamy texture and a rich, nutty flavor to your oats.

Coconut: Shredded coconut adds a tropical twist to your oats and adds a crunchy texture

Chocolate chips: For a little indulgence, add a sprinkle of chocolate chips to your oats. You can also try using cacao nibs.

Spices: Mix in a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to give your oats an extra flavor boost.

Honey or maple syrup: For a touch of sweetness, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over your oats.

Granola: Top your oats with a sprinkle of granola for an extra crunch.

Tips for Making 

• The consistency of your oats will depend on how much liquid you use and how long you soak them. If you prefer thicker oats, use less liquid and soak them for a shorter period of time. If you prefer thinner oats, use more liquid and soak them for a longer period of time.
• Overnight oats can be made with or without sweetener, depending on your preference. If you do want to add a little sweetness, you can use honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or your favorite sweetener. You can do this before or after you refrigerate the oats.
• If desired, swap out the frozen blueberries for your favorite frozen fruit. 
• Overnight oats are best within the first 5 days of making. 
• Be sure to choose a protein powder you like the taste of. If you are unfamiliar with powders, they all taste different, so it’s okay to test a few until you find one you love.
