Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats old-fashioned oats work best for texture
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder approximately 30g
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or your milk of choice
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional, adjust to sweetness preference
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Optional toppings fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of nuts or seeds, a dollop of whipped cream if you're feeling indulgent.

Equipment

Medium-sized jar, container, or bowl

Method

In a medium-sized jar, container, or bowl, add the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the protein powder and spices are evenly distributed. This prevents clumps in your final oats.

Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Stir everything together until well combined. Make sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the container to incorporate all the dry ingredients.

Gently fold in the fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, they will thaw overnight and release their delicious juice, creating a beautiful purple hue in your oats. If using fresh, they will remain plump and burst with flavor.

Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating a thick, pudding-like consistency.
In the morning, give your Blueberry Protein Overnight Oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more milk. Top with your favorite additions like extra berries, a sprinkle of granola for crunch, or a drizzle of honey. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious breakfast!

Notes

Best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Texture may thicken over time. Add milk to adjust consistency. Freezing is possible but may alter texture.
