By opting for protein overnight oats, you can enjoy a nutritious breakfast that satisfies your protein needs and your cravings for oatmeal. Each serving of this easy breakfast contains over 20 grams of protein per serving.

This recipe was created in a partnership with Naked Nutrition Ella Beauty Protein Powder. All opinions are my own. 

The key to eating healthy for me is meal prep planning! When I have a meal plan, it keeps me from impulse buying and eating fast food.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day – so I need something delicious, nutritious and fast for busy mornings! So I grab all my ingredients on Sundays to make some overnight oats!

Overnight oatmeal is a very simple recipe to throw together, and the ingredients are very flexible. You can change things to fit the flavors you love.

I love to add these to a mason jar (glass jar). I have 1 cup jars and this recipe will make enough for 4 servings. It’s a great option to store this healthy breakfast. Glass mason jars are a great option when you need an airtight container.

The best part is – you just need to grab a jar in the morning for a delicious breakfast with lots of health benefits.

   

Basic Ingredients for Overnight Oats – these are very simple ingredients!

• Your favorite type of milk. I prefer vanilla unsweetened almond milk to add more flavor. You can also use unflavored, but always make sure it’s unsweet. You can also substitute oat milk. You can even use coconut milk or non-dairy milk. It all depends on your preference and diet.
• Unsweetened greek yogurt
• Sweetener – I love to use a sugar-free option like stevia or Gentle Sweet from Trim Healthy Mama. You can also use pure maple syrup or honey.
• Vanilla Extract – this gives it just a little extra flavor.
• Chia Seeds – For extra fiber. (I don’t use them because I don’t like the texture.)
• Oats – for best results, use plain old-fashioned oats. Do not use quick oats or instant oats; they will get mushy.  Steel cut oats are also not a good option because they won’t soften enough.
• Flavor Variations – You can also add peanut butter or almond butter to the mix. Or top your overnight oats with your favorite toppings like chocolate chips, fresh fruit like fresh strawberries, or coconut flakes.

 

There are so many protein powder options for you to add to your food. Do you want vanilla protein powder or vegan protein powder? For this recipe, I added a chocolate protein powder from Naked Nutrition. It’s protein + other ingredients I want to include in my diet every day!

It has a blend of premium ingredients designed with your best skin, hair, and nails in mind. They include only time-tested vitamins and compounds to provide daily support to help you look and feel your best.

Collagen and organic seed protein combined with a powerful beauty blend of hyaluronic acid, zinc, vitamin C, biotin, and more improve skin elasticity, and smoothness and give you a natural glow.*

Naked Nutrition’s Ella Beauty Protein Powder is a great source of protein – 2 scoops give you 20 grams of protein! It’s available in Chocolate and Vanilla.

More Reasons to Love Ella Chocolate Beauty Protein Powder:

• It was created by scientists.
• Contains Zinc, vitamin C, and biotin to support collagen production.
• The Premium Protein come from grass-fed collagen and organic seeds.
• It’s gluten free, non GMO and sugar free – no artificial sweeteners, flavors, or colors!

I really love this recipe because it tastes like Im eating brownie batter or a chocolate cheesecake. 

I have been a fan of products from Naked Nutrition for a while! They have so many products to pick from, including Whey Protein, baking mixes, and they even have yummy chocolate chip cookies!

 

 

I use some of their other ingredients to make more delicious recipes. I used Naked Nutrition Fiber to make these coconut energy bites! They are so easy and delicious!
