Looking for a quick and easy breakfast that you can meal prep and bring with you on the go? MTMM has got you covered with this simple, protein packed version of overnight oats!
Typically, overnight oats are made by mixing oats and water/milk in a mason jar and leaving them to thicken overnight. In this version, we microwave the oats prior to leaving them in the fridge for a thicker, more filling final product.
The great thing about overnight oats is that they are extremely versatile. The base usually consists of oats and chia seeds, then we’ve added in egg whites to give it a bit of a protein boost, plus they add lots of volume to whatever you’re having. Greek yogurt adds even more protein, along with a creamy texture. Finishing it off with some berries and peanut butter for added flavour, carbohydrates and fats.
Some other items that you could play around with when making your own overnight oats could be pumpkin, banana, cocoa powder, honey, maple syrup, nuts and seeds, protein powder - you name it! You can create the perfect breakfast for your macronutrient profile and nutritional needs.
