u003cstrongu003eAre overnight oats a good source of protein?u003c/strongu003e

For my overnight oats, I always add protein powder. In one serving, there are over 30 grams of protein, which means this breakfast will help you stay fuller longer.

u003cstrongu003eCan I make these overnight oats without protein powder?u003c/strongu003e

You totally can, they just won't be protein-packed like they are when you use the protein powder. But oatmeal is still a great breakfast so if you prefer to make this without protein powder, you'll still have a healthy breakfast!

u003cstrongu003eCan you put fruit in overnight oats the night before?u003c/strongu003e

Absolutely! The bananas do just fine in the oatmeal overnight and add a ton of yummy flavor. You can always add them the next day too- whichever you prefer!

u003cstrongu003eHow many calories are in overnight oats with bananas?u003c/strongu003e

For one serving, this overnight oatmeal has 490 calories and 34 grams of protein! If you're a lighter eater, feel free to split this into two servings!

u003cstrongu003eMy overnight oats are too dry. What happened?u003c/strongu003e

You may have measured too much on the dry ingredients, or too little on the wet ingredients. A simple remedy for this is to add some extra almond milk and mix it up to give it more moisture!

Why should I add in chia seeds to my overnight oats?

Chia seeds are rich in nutrients, omega-3s, antioxidants, and fiber! In this recipe, they are so easy to prepare, as they just plump up overnight from all the wet ingredients in the oatmeal.

Can I serve two with this recipe?

While the serving size is for 1 adult, if you're feeding this healthy breakfast to your kids, feel free to split it up! It'll be more than enough for two child eaters, and still packs in over 15 grams of protein per serving!

Instructions

Mix it all together in a jar and place it in the fridge overnight. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add a little additional milk to thin out.
If you want the yogurt layered, mix everything in a jar except for the yogurt and maple syrup. Let it sit overnight. Mix the yogurt and maple syrup and layer the overnight oats with the yogurt and banana slices.

Notes

If the mixture is too dry, feel free to add a little more milk to thin it out.
Feel free to make multiple jars of these oats on Sunday for breakfast meal prep for the entire week!
The Simply Delish pudding mix is a healthier option than Jello and is vegan and dairy-free.
Jello Instant Pudding Mix is also dairy free, but I prefer Simply Delish which can be found at most health food stores.
As for my favorite plant-based protein powder, I use Clean Simple Eats. Click here for their protein and use HEALTHYLITTLEPEACH at checkout for savings.
