Protein Packed Overnight Oatmeal

May 10, 2016

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This protein rich overnight oatmeal recipe is perfect for those busy mornings when you don’t have time to cook.  

 

I’m super pumped for today’s easy recipe.  I’ve been making overnight oatmeal for about a year now, but felt like I’d been living under a rock until I discovered this simple and delicious recipe!

 

Breakfast is my jam y’all.  I have to eat in the morning or I will turn into the hangry monster that’s snippy and short tempered, and nobody wants to see that.  But this recipe has seriously changed my breakfast game.  Not only does it taste delicious, but it keeps me full way longer than my Greek yogurt with granola.  

I usually stick to 3 breakfast options: Egg and sprouted grain toast with avocado, Greek yogurt with granola, and overnight oatmeal.  This recipe recipe is dairy free, gluten free, sugar free and even vegan friendly!  Phew, that’s a lot of “frees!”  Plus it’s high in protein to keep you full longer.  Plus it’s darn tasty!

I can’t remember where I discovered the original recipe, but I’ve been making this version since last summer and am loving the convenience of an easy breakfast.  If you have to get out of the house quickly in the morning, this recipe is for you.  Just grab the jar out of your fridge before you leave in the morning and you have a healthy, filling breakfast ready for you when you get to work.  Even if you like to eat at home when you get up, this overnight oatmeal is ready and waiting for you.

It’s so easy to make too.  I prep for K and I each night before bed, then we just grab it and go in the morning.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup almond milk

  • Shake really well.
  • Place in fridge overnight.
  • In the morning, combine your add ins, stir and enjoy!

I eat mine cold, but you can heat in the microwave for 45 seconds.  I like to add dark chocolate chips (you can get dairy free chocolate chips in the natural section of the grocery store) or blueberries, but you can choose whatever add ins you like.  Or it’s great by itself.

Enjoy!

    I think you’ve been reading my mind. I have not been able to get a good breakfast in me for the past several weeks. I have got to try this.

    I’ve always wondered about these types of recipes– I think cold oats just never appealed to me, but being able to heat it up for a few seconds would probably do the trick & I love that you can literally grab it and go or not have to worry about other dirty dishes first thing in the morning.

    I was on an oatmeal kick last year and for some reason haven’t picked it back up again, but I do love anything that makes it easy for me to eat in the mornings! xo, Biana

    Couldn’t agree more; you don’t want to interact with me if I haven’t had breakfast! And over-night oats have been a favorite around here too. One shortcut that we love is using frozen fruit as a mix in. If you add the frozen peaches, berries, pineapple (whatever you like) the night before, it is usually perfectly done in the morning. We also are big fans of adding chia seeds to ours to get some extra oomph!

    This sounds like my morning porridge, but love the idea of using banana and almond milk!

    I love a good overnight oat for busy weeks (days!). I haven’t tried it with banana soaked in with it though, sounds good!

    I love overnight oats; I used to eat it every day last year, so thanks for this reminder! I like to make a big batch so I have it for the week. I, like you, HAVE to eat breakfast and am usually hungry right after I wake up, so I love the convenience and deliciousness of overnight oats.

    Yum! I’ve made something really similar and love it! Sometimes I use coconut palm sugar instead of honey…both delicious!

  9. Meg O. says: May 11, 2016 at 8:26 am

    This looks delicious! I’ve never thought of adding protein powder to oats but that is a brilliant idea!!!

    Gahhhhh, jealous of your love for oatmeal and your need to eat right away! Oatmeal literally makes me gag, and I pushed through it for the first three months BFing Otto. I could also happily live off coffee until 3 or 4pm. Wonder why my supply is low, right?! Ugh. I’m just not built for BFing. I’m sure these are delicious! It’s just… So mushy. And I hate fruit or anything sweet. Any savory oatmeal recipes for me?! Haha

    I’ve always been interested in trying overnight oats (and I love oatmeal) but I’m worried I won’t like it cold. Did you try it warmed up? Looks amazing.

    I’ve been wanting to find an overnight oat recipe!! I can’t wait to try this!!

    Ok I need this so bad! it is so hard to cook a meal from scratch every morning! This looks like the perfect solution because I want to do it the night before and it needs to be easy! Thank you Tiffany for sharing!
