Trying to track your protein intake and macros becomes increasingly challenging as a college student with a hectic schedule, so I try to meal prep as much as possible. One of my favorite breakfasts to prepare in advance is overnight oats mixed with my favorite protein powder. I figured out that by mixing chocolate protein with chia seeds I was able to create overnight oats similar to chocolate pudding! It is so easy, delicious, and best of all macro-friendly. :)
Ingredients:
- ¼ c of Old Fashioned Quaker Oats (dry)
- ⅝ c of Milk
- 1 scoop of your favorite chocolate protein powder (I use Syntha-6 Edge)
- 1 Banana (sliced)
- 1 tsp Chia Seeds
- Optional: Honey, Agave, or Sweetener to taste!
Note: Feel free to play around with the ratio of dry ingredients to milk in order to create your desired consistency and thickness!
Instructions:
- Add your protein powder, oats, chia seeds, and milk to a mason jar.
- Close the jar & shake until mixed well.
- Open the jar and top off your already mixed oats with sliced banana & sweetener if desired.
- Place in the fridge and let sit overnight
- ENJOY!
