Why Overnight Oats for Protein?
Traditional overnight oats are carb-heavy and low in protein. This version uses Greek yogurt, protein powder, and chia seeds to transform a simple breakfast into a macro-friendly powerhouse. The oats absorb the liquid overnight, creating a creamy, pudding-like texture that tastes like dessert.

- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (25g protein)
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon
- Toppings: sliced banana, berries, almond butter, granola
Instructions
- Combine oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and cinnamon in a jar or container.
- Add Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, and vanilla extract.
- Stir everything together until well combined with no lumps.
- Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
