Notes
*Protein powder – I use Orgain's vanilla protein powder for a classic flavor, but feel free to switch it up and use protein powder (or flavors) of choice.
**Maple syrup – Sweeten to taste! If your protein powder is already on the sweeter side, you can skip it. Helpful tips
**Maple syrup – Sweeten to taste! If your protein powder is already on the sweeter side, you can skip it. Helpful tips
- Make it without protein powder
- Reduce the soy milk to ½ cup and add ¼ cup of plant-based yogurt for an extra protein boost.
- Mix in 2 to 3 tablespoons of hemp seeds.
- If desired, 2 tablespoons of PB2 for additional flavor and protein.
- Adjust consistency of oats - The oats will naturally thicken the longer they sit in the fridge. Before serving, give them a quick stir, adding a splash of milk if your protein overnight oats are too thick for liking.
- Add toppings before serving - It is recommended to add fruits, granola, and nuts right before serving to keep them fresh.
- Serving it warm - Overnight oats can be reheated in the microwave or on the stove before serving. Add some milk to loosen if the mixture is too thick.
- Batch Prep – Multiply the base recipe and mix in a large bowl. Portion into jars and refrigerate.
- Storage – Keep refrigerated for 4–5 days. Stir before serving and add a splash of milk if the mixture is too thick.
- Freezing – Freeze in airtight jars for up to 3 months, leaving some space at the top for expansion. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
