A simple, nutritious recipe for high-protein overnight oats made with Greek yogurt, protein powder, and chia seeds. This easy no-cook breakfast can be prepared the night before and topped with fresh berries and sliced almonds for a delicious start to your day.

  • Total Time: 8 hours 10 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/4 cups unsweetened almond or oat milk, plus more as needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 cup gluten free oats
  • 1 scoop plain or vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds

Toppings

  • Fresh berries
  • Sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Combine wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt, unsweetened almond or oat milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Mix in dry ingredients: Fold in the gluten-free oats, protein powder, and chia seeds into the wet mixture. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
  3. Divide and refrigerate: Pour the oat mixture into two separate cups or jars with lids. Seal them and place in the refrigerator to chill overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
  4. Serve: The next morning, remove the oats from the fridge and stir well. Add extra almond or oat milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Top with fresh berries and sliced almonds before serving.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity to suit your preferred sweetness level.
  • Protein powder can be either plain or vanilla-flavored depending on taste.
  • Adding chia seeds boosts fiber and omega-3 content.
  • Feel free to swap fresh berries and almonds for other fruits or nuts as desired.
  • This recipe is best prepared the night before to achieve the perfect texture.
