High-Protein Overnight Oats
π Ingredients
1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
1 single-serve Greek yogurt (I like Fage or Oikos)
1 tbsp chia seeds
Optional toppings:
Fruit
Nut butter or chopped nuts
Honey or maple syrup
π§βπ³ Instructions
1. Mix Everything Together
In a jar or sealable container, stir together the oats, water, cinnamon, salt, and Greek yogurt until well combined.
2. Let It Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight allowing the oats to soften and the flavors to meld.
3. Top and Enjoy
When ready to eat, give it a good stir and add your favorite toppings like berries, nut butter, or a drizzle of honey for added texture and flavor. Enjoy cold straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl. Itβs a quick, protein-packed breakfast you can prep ahead for busy mornings.
π½ Why I Love This Bowl as an RD: Flavor Meets Function
Oats offer soluble fiber and complex carbs to keep blood sugar stable and energy steady
Cinnamon adds natural sweetness and anti-inflammatory properties without added sugar
Totally customizable. Top it with fruit, seeds, or nut butter to fit your mood and nutrient needs.
Perfect for busy mornings when you need something quick, nourishing, and satisfying
