Notes
Tip: If you don't have protein powder on hand, here are some other ways to add protein to your overnight oats:
- Greek Yogurt: Add ¼ cup of plain Greek yogurt to the overnight oats mixture. This will add about 4 grams of protein, depending on what brand you use.
- Cottage Cheese: Add ¼ cup of cottage cheese to the overnight oats mixture. This will about around 7 grams of protein.
- Nuts and Nut Butter: Chopped nuts and/or nut butter are a great way to add a little bit of extra protein to your overnight oats. They also add healthy fats, which will make the oats even more filling!
