Overnight Oats are quick, easy, and delicious. I suggest making it the night before and letting it sit in the fridge over night. They are a great pre/post workout snack and something you can easily bring to school or work. And it takes less than 5 minutes to prepare.
Ingredients
Old fashioned rolled oats
Chia seeds (Great source of fiber!)
Your choice of milk. I like cashew milk because it is really creamy but you can use any kind
Protein powder (I suggest the brand PEScience. I have tried a lot of protein and I can easily say this is my favorite. It doesn’t have that protein-y taste and it is actually good!
Cinnamon
Your choice of fruit: (fresh or frozen) banana, strawberries, blueberries, cherries
Other add-ins: hemp seeds, flax seeds, maca powder, coconut flakes, honey
Steps
Place oats in container. Cover with water and microwave for two 30 second intervals. Stir.
Add milk.
Add protein powder. Stir.
Add lots of chia seeds. I like to add a very generous amount of chia seeds. I like my oats to be more like chia pudding. You can add as much or as little as you like!
Add cinnamon and additional add-ins (hemp seeds, flax seeds, and maca powder)
Add water. You want the consistency to be like pudding or jelly before putting it in the fridge because the chia seeds and oats absorb a lot of water.
Add fruit.
Place in fridge over night and enjoy as an easy, delicious snack!!
Some of my favorite flavor combinations are:
Chocolate protein powder + banana
Vanilla protein powder + mixed berries
