Creamy Vanilla Protein Overnight Oats
A simple and nutritious breakfast that waits for you in the fridge until morning.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing better than waking up to a breakfast that is already made. These protein overnight oats are a lifesaver on busy mornings when you want something satisfying but do not have time to cook.
I love adding a little extra protein to start my day on the right foot. You can use your favorite protein powder to change up the flavor, but I always come back to a simple vanilla base because it goes with every topping imaginable.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 3/4 cup milk of your choice
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup, optional
- Fresh berries or nuts for serving

💡 Tips
If your oats look a bit too thick in the morning, just add a splash of extra milk and stir. You can store these in the fridge for up to three days, so feel free to prep a few jars at once to save time during the week.
