We don’t get behind too many viral TikTok trends, but when overnight oats mixed with protein powder kept popping up on our FYP, we made an exception.
Basic overnight oats are a fast, filling, nutritious way to jumpstart your day. Oats are high in insoluble fiber that can reduce cholesterol and blood sugar levels. Toss in a scoop of protein powder and you’ve got a breakfast that will help you power through even the most grueling workout.
The recipes below all use rolled or classic oats, and greek yogurt, milk, or a dairy alternative for the base. Dump the ingredients in a mason jar (with a lid, please) with the rest of the ingredients, mix, and toss it in the fridge overnight.
You’ll never dry scoop or drink another clumpy protein shake again.
