Protein Overnight Oats

• servings: 1 serving
• total time: 8 hours

Ingredients

1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or milk of choice)

2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder (1/2 scoop, I used whey protein—you can also substitute an additional 1/4 cup rolled oats)

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten free if needed)

2 teaspoons coconut sugar

1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon pure almond extract (optional)

Small pinch kosher salt

Sliced and toasted almonds (or other nuts)

Peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)

Fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries, and bananas are all delicious)

Orange zest (or lemon zest)

Drizzle of dark chocolate

Directions

Whisk

Briskly whisk the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and protein powder together in a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, or shake them together in a mason jar so that the protein powder is as well incorporated as possible. Add the oats, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. Whisk to completely combine. Cover with plastic wrap (or seal the lid of the jar) and refrigerate for 8 hours or up to 5 days.

Serve

When ready to serve, stir once more, then transfer to a serving bowl. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, thin with a little extra almond milk. Sprinkle with any desired toppings and enjoy immediately.
