Author Liz Hurley Raynor, MS, RD, LDN, CSCS

Ingredients

  • 1/3-2/3 cup traditional rolled oats (gluten free if needed)
  • 1/2-1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your milk of choice)
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1-2 tsp. chia seeds
  • 1-3 tsp. maple syrup
  • 1 scoop protein powder of choice (optional)
  • For topping: fruit, hemp or pumpkin seeds, chopped nuts, nut butter, shredded coconut, dried fruit, etc. (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a 8-16 oz. mason jar or container (with lid) combine the oats, almond milk, cinnamon, maple syrup, chia seeds, and optional protein powder.  Seal the lid well and shake to combine. 

  2. NOTE: If adding protein powder to your overnight oats, you will likely need to add about another 1/4 cup (2-3 oz.) liquid for mixing. If you're not a fan of protein power, check out our list of variations below this recipe to get a variation with 26g protein and no protein powder!

  3. Repeat step one for up to four jars to have for the week.

  4. Place jar(s) in the fridge overnight (or at least 2 hours) and in the morning top with seeds, fruit, and/or nut butter and enjoy!! These keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
