Protein Overnight Oats

High-protein overnight oats!

Made with rolled oats, yogurt, milk, and chia seeds, these protein overnight oats are a well-balanced meal complete with 25 grams of protein, lots of fibre, and plenty of healthy fats.  Whip these protein-packed overnight oats up tonight and you’ll have a healthy breakfast ready to go in the morning.

This protein overnight oats recipe uses yogurt and chia seeds instead of protein powder to help boost the protein content and keep it 100% whole food-based. Although it calls for Greek yogurt, which adds an additional 5 to 10 grams of protein per serving, you could certainly use regular yogurt if you prefer. Just be sure to read the ingredients and opt for an unsweetened version if possible, as you’ll be adding some natural sweetener in the form of honey anyway.

• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, plain
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
