My overnight oats with protein powder need just 4 ingredients to make and are perfectly thick and creamy. Over 45 grams of protein per serving. Watch how I make this in my kitchen in the video below!
Add the oats, protein powder, and chia seeds to a shallow container or cereal bowl. Add the milk and give it a mix.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
When ready to enjoy, give it a mix and add more milk if needed. Add your toppings and enjoy immediately.

Notes
Adjust the ratios: If you prefer thicker oats, you can cut back on the liquid, or if you like them thinner, add more liquid.
Add sweetness: Add maple syrup, sugar, or your favorite sweetener if your protein powder is unsweetened.
Give everything a good mix! Before refrigerating, give everything a good mix to prevent the oats or chia from clumping.
Add toppings just before eating.:This is especially important for crunchy toppings like nuts or granola. You don't want them to soften and be soggy!
Meal prep the oatmeal: Simply multiply this recipe by five and divide the mixture into five Tupperware containers, and you will have breakfast sorted for every weekday morning!
Storage: Prep your oats in advance and store them in the refrigerator for up to one week. Just be sure to give the oats a good mix, as it will continue to thicken.
