A creamy, protein-packed overnight oats recipe combining Greek yogurt, oats, and protein powder for a quick, nutritious breakfast that supports weight loss and sustained energy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned)
  • ¾ cup (180g) plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (unsweetened almond milk preferred, dairy milk works too)
  • 1 scoop (~30g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored, whey isolate or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup fresh berries or sliced banana (for topping)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Measure and combine the oats and chia seeds in your jar or container.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt to the oats and stir gently to mix.
  3. Pour in the milk.
  4. Mix in the protein powder, whisking with the milk first or blending separately to avoid clumps.
  5. Add honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract for flavor.
  6. Sprinkle in cinnamon and stir everything until fully combined.
  7. Seal the jar or container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  8. In the morning, stir the oats well; add a splash of milk if too thick.
  9. Top with fresh berries or sliced banana before serving.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Whisk protein powder with milk first to avoid clumps. Adjust milk quantity for desired consistency. Prep multiple jars for meal prep. Store in fridge up to 3 days. For dairy-free, use plant-based protein powder and non-dairy milk. Add fresh fruit or granola just before serving to avoid sogginess.
