If you are preparing for a meal but don’t like traditional protein powder, you will love this recipe. These high-protein overnight oats are easy to prepare, and Don’t taste like protein powder.

Instead, this recipe tastes like a light oatmeal, 27 grams of protein per serving. (There are 10 grams of fiber to help you stay full!)

The ingredients you need

The recipe starts with old-fashioned oatmeal, chia seeds (for extra fiber and protein) and your favorite milk. For the highest protein content, use milk or soy milk as a dairy-free option.

Non-cream fat options such as oat milk, coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk can also be used, but provide less protein.

Milk, oats, chia seeds, collagen and peanut butter mark on a white surface.

Not a fan of collagen?

For similar protein boosts, you can replace it with 1/3 cup regular Greek yogurt. You can also try other options such as whey protein powder or chocolate protein powder.

((notes: I don’t recommend doing this my usual protein powder. It’s not delicious. )

Instead of asking for vanilla protein powder, this recipe relies on collagen peptides that are not contained to add protein.

This will blend seamlessly into the oatmeal, especially if you pair it with peanut butter and a light maple syrup.

Make protein overnight oats

Start with a wide mouth can, the lid is at least 12 ounces or larger. If you want to make multiple servings, use multiple jars (such as Mason jars or work jars, see my favorite above).

Add oats, chia seeds, collagen powder, peanut butter, maple syrup, and milk to each jar. Stir well until the peanut butter dissolves in the milk and there is no clumps visible.

Milk and oats are stirred together in a glass jar.

Secure the lid and store the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

When you are ready to eat oats the next day, take a jar out of the refrigerator and remove the lid. Stir well and add any toppings you like, such as thinly sliced bananas, almonds, or fresh berries.

These jars can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, so eat as much as you can at that time.

Gluten-free tip

Although oats are naturally gluten-free, they may be contaminated during processing. If necessary, purchase certified gluten-free oats.

Cover the oats and thicken after cooling overnight.

½ cup Old rolled oats
2 spoon Collagen peptides
1 spoon chia seeds
1 spoon Peanut butter
1 spoon Maple Syrup
¾ cup milk (See comments)

Add rolled oats, collagen, chia seeds, peanut butter, maple syrup, and milk to a 12-ounce jar with lid or larger. Stir well until everything is mixed together, then secure the lid and transfer to the refrigerator to cool. (At least 4 hours or overnight.)
After you are ready to eat, remove the lid and stir the oats. You will notice that they are already rich and absorb the liquid. They are ready to go with any topping you like, like fresh berries or a ball of Greek yogurt.
These jars can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, so you can eat as much food as you can at that time.

Assuming you use unsweetened soy milk, the nutrition information applies to the entire batch. This information is calculated automatically, only estimates, not guaranteed.
Milk Ingredients: Soy and milk have about 8 grams of protein per cup. If you switch to dairy-free milk (such as almond or oat milk), the batch may have less protein.
Gluten-free Note: Oats are naturally gluten-free, but may be contaminated during processing. If needed, buy certified gluten-free oats.
Protein powder notes: I use undrinkable collagen peptides in this recipe because you simply can’t taste this content. (At least not add peanut butter and maple syrup.) Feel free to try using your favorite protein powder. I tried adding 1 tablespoon of plant protein powder that I usually don’t have sugar and I hate it. Therefore, experiments must be carried out on your own.
