A quick and easy protein-packed overnight oats recipe perfect for meal prep and weight loss, featuring rolled oats, protein powder, almond milk, and berries.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (approx. 30g) protein powder (whey, plant-based, or collagen)
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat, optional)
  • 1 tbsp (12g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tsp (5ml) maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (75g) frozen mixed berries
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure the oats and protein powder. Combine 1/2 cup rolled oats and 1 scoop protein powder in a mixing bowl. Whisk to break up any clumps.
  2. Add the wet ingredients. Pour in 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt. Stir gently until smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix in chia seeds, sweetener, and vanilla. Add 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tsp maple syrup or honey, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Stir well.
  4. Fold in the frozen berries and cinnamon. Toss in 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries and 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
  5. Transfer the mixture to 16 oz mason jars or airtight containers, leaving space at the top.
  6. Seal and refrigerate overnight for at least 6 hours.
  7. Serve chilled or warm for 30–60 seconds in the microwave. Stir before eating.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Mix protein powder with milk first to avoid clumps. Chia seeds add thickness and fiber but can be omitted. Adjust sweetness to taste. Prepare up to 5 jars at once for meal prep. Add a splash of almond milk in the morning if too thick.
