These Protein Powder Overnight Oats are an easy way to get a boost of protein in at breakfast. With 25g of protein per serving, these oats are packed with protein and fully customizable with your favorite flavors.

In college I used to eat overnight oats all the time. They are SO convenient.

It's easy to meal-prep an entire week's worth of breakfasts on a Sunday. Just divide all the ingredients among some mason jars.

Then you can just grab and go each morning. The entire breakfast is contained in just a single jar.

And the oats are customizable. You can add different fruits or spices or flavors of protein powder to create fully unique breakfast each morning.

I'm more of a savory breakfast person now (I love my tofu scramble in the mornings) but overnight oats might make a more regular appearance in my breakfast routine because wow these oats are so quick and convenient. And they've got just as much protein as my typical breakfast.

Why I love these Protein Powder Overnight Oats

Dietary needs - this recipe is dairy-free, vegan, oil-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free
Easy to make - overnight oats are so easy to throw together. You just put the ingredients in a jar and let them sit
Great for meal prep - this recipe saves so much time in the morning. Just grab your jar and go!
Customizable - grab your favorite flavors of protein powder and use a different one for each meal
Packed with protein - depending on the protein powder you use, this recipe has about 25g of protein per serving
Not grainy - these oats might have protein powder but they definitely don't have a grainy texture. By adding in some non-dairy yogurt and chia seeds, we'll make these oats thick and creamy

Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Rolled Oats: rolled oats are ideal for overnight oats because they produce the best texture after sitting in the fridge all night. Quick oats can also work.
Soy Milk: I used unsweetened soy milk for extra protein, but any unsweetened non-dairy milk will work
Non-Dairy Greek Style Yogurt: the greek-style yogurt creates a thick and creamy texture and adds even more protein. I've been loving Kite Hill's greek-style yogurt
Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder: I used Naked's Vegan Vanilla Shake protein powder. I love this brand because of how clean there ingredients are. If you're looking for a completely unsweetened protein powder you can try their vegan seed protein powder or even their peanut powder
Chia Seeds: chia seeds add some good-for-you Omega-3s. They expand over night and create a gelatinous texture that makes the oats even more thick and creamy
Vanilla Extract
Pinch Salt
Add ins: this is where you get creative. Add your favorite foods and flavors. Some ideas are chocolate chips, fresh or frozen fruit, sliced almonds or peanuts, cinnamon, nutella - the sky's the limit
