Protein Packed Overnight Oats
You can make this recipe using Steel Cut Oats ( my personal favorite 😋 ) or you can use regular rolled oats. Adjust your recipe according to the type of oat you use.
1/4 cup steel cut oats or 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon flax seeds
1 teaspoon cacao
1 scoop protein powder - I use Orgain ( aprox 25 grams )
Splash of Vanilla
1/2 cup almond milk ( or your liquid of choice )
Mix together
Topping:
I make a mixture using Fage Greek Yogurt* , Coconut Milk (can), Vanilla, Sugar Free Pudding (vanilla), shredded coconut.
I don't measure ... I just wing it until I like the consistency and taste. It also varies based on how many bowls I am prepping. TBH I got sick of measuring out everything.
** Fage greek yogurt ( any greek yogurt is fine ) This is thicker and makes it easier to spread on top of the oatmeal than regular yogurts.
Cover and let sit overnight in the fridge.
Enjoy the next day!
I typically make 3 days worth at a time.
I don't know the macros because I don't care what they are. I am learning to intuitively eat and fuel my body with what it needs. Whole food nutrition packed with omega 3's, healthy fats! This has replaced my morning shake in a far more satisfying way.
