Overnight oats with protein powder is one of the best ways to start the day and includes over 30g of protein per portion! So you’ll be well on your way to hitting those macro goals. Protein powder overnight oats are super versatile, great for meal prepping and super filling.

Instructions
Put the protein powder into a protein shake cup, then pour in the liquid. Shake well until the powder breaks down and turns into a smooth shake.
60 g protein powder, 2 cups almond milk
Pop the oats and chia seeds into a large tupperware container. Mix so that the chia seeds are running throughout the oats, so they are not clumped up.
1 cup oats, 2 tablespoon chia seeds
Pour the protein shake onto the oats and chia seeds. Next, stir well with a spoon until it’s all combined.
Refrigerate overnight, or at least for 2 hours.
When you’re ready to eat the overnight oats with protein powder, portion half of the full mix into a bowl, jar or whatever container you want to eat them from. Then top with your favourite toppings. For vanilla protein overnight oats, we recommend chopped strawberries, peanut butter and salted caramel vegan yoghurt.
Use whatever protein powder you like (but check that it's a vegan one!), but we find vanilla or chocolate flavour to be a good starting point.
You may need to use a little more or a little less than the 30g stated in this recipe. Use the amount for one serving of protein powder, as it reads on the packet instructions.
Make up the protein powder with the almond milk before pouring it onto the oats. Otherwise the finished dish could be powdery!
Add more milk if needed once you serve the oats, this will depend on personal preference.
