Print Recipe

A quick and easy overnight oats recipe packed with protein, almond butter, and fresh berries, perfect for a nutritious and filling breakfast that supports weight loss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk (or oat/coconut milk)
  • 1 tablespoon (16g) almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup (50g) fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In a jar or container, add rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to mix evenly (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in almond milk and almond butter. Add vanilla extract and maple syrup or honey if using. Stir vigorously until almond butter is well incorporated and mixture is creamy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Top with berries: Add fresh or frozen berries on top without mixing to keep them fresh (less than 1 minute).
  4. Seal and refrigerate: Close the jar/container tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld.
  5. Morning stir and serve: Stir the oats and berries together. Add a splash of almond milk if too thick. Enjoy cold or warm gently in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats to prevent sogginess. Warm almond butter slightly if hard to mix. Adjust almond milk quantity based on protein powder absorption. Let frozen berries thaw slightly for better texture. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days; stir in milk before eating if thickened. Not recommended to freeze.
