Protein overnight oats with protein powder

In this protein overnight oats recipe, the protein comes from the oats, protein powder, Greek yoghurt and hemp seeds. The sweetness comes from the flavour of your protein powder, but you can also add additional liquid sweetener if you prefer like honey, maple syrup or liquid stevia.

We like to use vanilla whey protein isolate in this recipe, we usually buy the Bulk Nutrients or Isopure brand. But any flavoured protein powder would work. Here are the ingredients we use in this protein overnight oats recipe;

• oats
• Greek yoghurt
• protein powder
• hemp seeds
• water or milk of your choice

Our other favourite protein packed breakfast recipes

We try to make sure our breakfasts are packed with protein to keep us full and to make sure we are meeting our protein requirements across the day. We do find if we are not conscious of our protein intake that we can easily not eat enough to stay strong and healthy. So starting the day with a breakfast rich in protein is a no brainer for us.

Protein powder is a great option for adding more protein to your daily meals, especially if you are not a big meat eater. We love to use protein powder in these protein overnight oats, smoothies, smoothie bowls and even just stirred through Greek yoghurt.

Here are some of our other favourite protein-packed breakfast recipes;

• Protein chia pudding
• Chicken apple sausage patties
• Easy Turkish eggs
• Homemade baked beans
• Ham & cheese frittata
