A high protein breakfast is such a good start to hitting your macros for the day. These protein overnight oats have been an absolute game changer for my husband and I! He eats these, no joke, at least 350 days a year.

Benefits Of Protein Overnight Oats
There are so many reasons these overnight oats need to make it into your diet.
I’m not the biggest morning person, so having these ready instead of dragging out the pots and pans at 5 a.m. is a win for me.
These are perfect for meal prepping, or even an extra snack throughout the day if you’re bulking.
Having these plastic lids makes these oats even easier. Ours have endured daily use for almost a year with no signs of wear! They are SO much easier to clean than the traditional metal rings and lids.
When I have overnight oats for breakfast, they’re a huge chunk of my protein goal for the day. I would not hit my macros most days without them!
Any Flavor?!
Yep! Another great thing about these oats is that you can have them day after day and never grow sick of them, because you can completely change the flavor by what protein powder you use!!
What Protein Powder Should I Use For Protein Overnight Oats?
I can’t recommend Bowmar Nutrition powder enough for this recipe. Our favorite flavors to use are Protein Cinnamon Roll and Protein Strawberry Milkshake.
Adding the cinnamon roll protein in your oats gives you the EXACT taste of a sugary cinnamon roll, but with 40-50 grams (depending on protein powder and type of milk) of protein in the meal instead.
The strawberry milkshake flavor tastes like the real thing, instead of the overpowering fake strawberry taste you often get in protein powders.
We use Bowmar Protein for a ton of tasty guilt free and high protein recipes, like this protein latte!
Customize Your Protein Overnight Oats
You also have the choice of using any milk you’d like. This, along with the size of your protein scoop, this will effect texture. Not in a good or bad way, some make it thicker and some make it thinner. We use 2% or unsweetened soy, and avoid almond because it lacks protein.
My husband adds frozen berries or bananas to these overnight oats and by morning they’re thawed and a great addition to many flavors you could make.
Below are the macros for this recipe using: Quaker overnight oats, Bowmar Nutrition Protein Cinnamon Roll, 2% milk, and Chobani nonfat plain greek yogurt.

A filling meal with almost 50 grams of protein, and it tastes good! Enjoy!
