Make Overnight Oats for the Week

Double or triple this recipe and store up to 5 days in the fridge. Prep all jars on Sunday for grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week. Keep mix-ins separate until serving to avoid sogginess. Protein powder and Greek yogurt keep the oats filling and stable for days.

Overnight Oats Without Chia Seeds

This recipe skips chia seeds entirely and relies on Greek yogurt for thickness and creaminess instead. If you want extra texture, add chopped nuts, granola, or coconut flakes right before eating. Greek yogurt provides the same protein boost without the seeds.

Simple 3-Ingredient Base Option

At minimum, combine 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, and 1 scoop protein powder with 1/2 cup milk. Refrigerate overnight and eat plain or with any toppings on hand. This stripped-down version still delivers 25g protein and takes 2 minutes to mix.

Frequently asked questions

How much protein is in one serving of high protein overnight oats?
This recipe contains 25g of protein per serving, coming from the Greek yogurt (about 15g) and the protein powder (about 10g). You can increase protein further by using a larger scoop or adding more Greek yogurt.
Can I make overnight oats without protein powder?
Yes. Use 1 cup Greek yogurt instead of 1/2 cup plus the powder. You'll still get around 20g protein, though the texture will be thicker. Add a splash more milk to reach your preferred consistency.
Do overnight oats need to be refrigerated?
Yes, always refrigerate overnight oats. They need at least 4 hours in the fridge to soften the oats and allow flavors to blend. They keep for up to 5 days in a sealed container.
What milk works best for high protein overnight oats?
Any milk works: dairy, almond, oat, soy, or coconut. Soy and oat milk add extra creaminess. Use whatever you have on hand or prefer. The amount stays the same regardless of type.
