Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 1 serving
Author Liz Hurley Raynor, MS, RD, LDN, CSCS

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a 8-12 oz. mason jar or plastic 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 need to add about another 1/4 cup (2-3 oz.) liquid for mixing.

  3. Repeat step one for up to four jars to have for the week. (you could do more for the whole week, but I find after sitting for four days the texture is not as great.  I recommend making 2 times per week)

  4. Leave jar(s) in the fridge overnight (or at least 2 hours) and in the morning top with chopped nuts, fruit, or nut butter and enjoy!!
