High Protein Overnight Oats
This recipe has been in my breakfast rotation for a while now and it never disappoints. High in protein and fiber, and balanced for good blood sugar and energy throughout the day. This breakfast really hits the spot!
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tbsp hemp seeds
1 Tbsp flax meal
1 scoop collagen peptides
1 tsp ceylon cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
1 scoop chocolate or vanilla beef protein powder (my favorite protein powders)
¾ cup nut milk (or grass-fed cow/sheep/goat milk)
1 Tbsp peanut butter (sub for any nut/seed butter)
Instructions
In a small glass bowl or jar with a lid (like a pint size mason jar) add all of the ingredients from oats to salt and mix together
In a blender, add the protein powder, nut butter and milk and blend together on high
Pour the liquid into the bowl/jar with the rest of the ingredients and stir together with a spoon
Put the lid on tightly and shake to make sure everything is mixed together and there aren’t any dry pockets on the side of the jar
Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days
When you're ready to eat it, pour the contents into a bowl and stir. Feel free to add a splash of milk to get to the consistency you desire
Add berries or chopped fruit and enjoy!
Can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored with an airtight lid in the fridge.
You can also make the dry ingredients in advance and add the protein powder, milk and nut butter the night before.
