Ingredient Notes

Gluten Free Oats: I like Bob’s Red Mill brand or One Degree brand from Costco or Thrive Market! While it seems like all oats would be gluten-free, be sure to check the label because this isn’t always the case!

Chia Seeds: Chia seeds have such amazing health benefits and give this oatmeal an extra boost in texture and health!

Non-Fat Greek Yogurt: If you’re dairy-free, sub your favorite dairy-free yogurt of choice, or replace it with an extra cup of almond milk.

Almond Milk: If you prefer different dairy-free milk, feel free to use it!

Vanilla Protein Powder: I have recently been trying out protein powder from the brands Be Well By Kelly and Truvani, but use your favorite brand! You could also use chocolate protein powder if you prefer the chocolate and banana combo! If using unflavored protein powder, feel free to add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract.

How To Make Protein Overnight Oats

1. Mash your bananas and add all over the ingredients to a bowl except for the oats. 
2. Mix well until relatively smooth and combined
3. Add in the oats and stir until combined.
4. Divide the mixture between four 7-oz jars (these are my favorite), cover, and store in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. For best results, store overnight!

Toppings: Feel free to add blueberries, strawberries, peanut butter, or almond butter to these!

Jars: I use Weck Tulip jars, but feel free to use whatever containers you have on hand. These jars each hold about 7 oz. Just be mindful of the serving size if you don’t have the same volume containers as I am using.

Variations: You can really adjust these protein overnight oats with banana to your preference. Use a different flavor protein powder (like chocolate or strawberry) and try mashing up different fruits like strawberries or blueberries. You can also add a dollop of peanut butter to the mixture if you prefer. Or, use any of these as toppings. This recipe is versatile and accommodating to all kinds of flavor preferences!
