A quick and easy high-protein overnight oats recipe with berries that is creamy, delicious, and perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (~30g) protein powder (vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based)
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) milk (dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1/4 cup (60g) Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1 tbsp (12g) chia seeds
  • 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup (75g) mixed berries (fresh or frozen blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl or large measuring cup, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 tbsp chia seeds, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon (if using).
  2. Pour in 3/4 cup milk and 1/4 cup Greek yogurt. Add 1-2 tsp honey or maple syrup and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to combine until smooth with no lumps.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup mixed berries. If using frozen, no need to thaw.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly into 2 small mason jars or airtight containers, leaving some space at the top.
  5. Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats and chia seeds to thicken.
  6. The next morning, stir the oats. Add extra fresh berries, a drizzle of honey, or nuts if desired. If too thick, stir in a splash of milk to loosen.

Notes

If oats are too thick or dry, increase milk by a tablespoon next time. Stirring halfway through soaking can help distribute flavors evenly but is optional. Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Frozen berries can be added directly without thawing. Adjust sweetener to taste to avoid syrupy texture.
