Storage: Protein overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, making them ideal for breakfast meal prep.
Try one of these fun flavor options:
  • Double Chocolate: Swap the vanilla protein powder for chocolate. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of low-sugar chocolate chips.
  • Banana Peanut Butter: Mix 15 grams of dried peanut butter powder with 1-2 tablespoons of water until it is thick and creamy. Mix this into the prepared oats before refrigerating. Top with sliced bananas and a drizzle of peanut butter.
  • Strawberry Almond: Mix one tablespoon of almond butter into the oats before refrigerating. Top with chopped strawberries and sliced almonds.
  • Blueberry Coconut: Stir in two tablespoons of blueberries right before serving. Top with extra blueberries and a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut flakes. 
  • Pumpkin: Stir 1/4 cup pumpkin puree and 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice into the oats mixture. Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt, chopped pecans, and cinnamon. (*Optional: Stir in a tablespoon of maple syrup!).
