Overnight oats are my absolute favorite way to enjoy oatmeal. They require no cooking (you just mix all the ingredients together and the ingredients absorb the moisture) and the texture is so much creamier than traditional oats. They’re like a blank canvas- I like to make my original recipe and then in the morning, I’ll top them with whatever it is I’m craving which is 9 times out of 10… peanut butter.
The greek yogurt and powdered peanut butter add protein to this recipe but I’ll sometimes mix in some extra protein in the form of unflavored collagen peptide powder (use my code TUROFF10 for 10% off your purchase).
I love adding chia seeds to my overnight oats because they soak up additional liquid and make the oats even creamier but if you’re averse to the texture of gelatinized chia seeds, just omit them and sub in flax or hemp seeds for a protein, fiber and omega-3 boost!
