A quick and easy no-cook overnight oats recipe packed with protein, fiber, and natural sweetness, perfect for busy mornings and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk or any milk of choice
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • ½ cup (75g) fresh or frozen berries (blueberries or raspberries)
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, add rolled oats, chia seeds, and ground cinnamon. Stir gently to mix.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, and maple syrup (if using) until smooth and no lumps remain.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet mixture over the oats and stir gently to combine evenly. The mixture should look creamy but thick.
  4. Portion into jars: Divide the oat mixture evenly among 4-5 clean mason jars or containers (about 8 oz / 240 ml each). Top each with fresh or frozen berries and sprinkle slivered almonds or chopped nuts.
  5. Refrigerate overnight: Seal the jars tightly and place in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.

Notes

If oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk to loosen. Stir before eating if separation occurs. Use rolled oats for best texture. Protein powder should be whisked into wet ingredients to avoid clumps. Nuts or granola toppings are best added just before eating to keep crunch.
