A quick and nourishing overnight oats recipe combining rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, and mixed berries for a creamy, delicious breakfast that’s perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based)
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk (any kind, almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt for vegan)
  • 1/2 cup (75g) mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon (20ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, and ground cinnamon if using. Stir to mix evenly.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the protein powder is fully dissolved and the mixture looks smooth.
  3. Fold in berries: Gently fold in mixed berries. If using frozen berries, no need to thaw.
  4. Portion into containers: Spoon the mixture evenly into two mason jars or airtight containers. Leave a little room at the top for expansion as the chia seeds absorb liquid.
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Seal the jars tightly and place them in the fridge for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  6. Enjoy: In the morning, give the oats a gentle stir. Add extra fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or a splash of milk if they seem too thick.

Notes

If oats seem watery in the morning, let them soak longer or use thicker yogurt. Shake mixture in jar before refrigerating to break up protein powder clumps. Best eaten within 1-2 days for freshness. Adjust sweetness after soaking if needed.
