Ok honestly, this is less of a recipe I made and more of a thing I wanted to share, but don’t know how to do it.
A really basic Overnight oats really consist of three things
- Oats
- Greek Yogurt
- Fruit, Honey, or Both
Now for me personally, I need a lot of protein to sustain my weight and workout goals. I won’t go into detail, but my ideal daily minimum is 220 grams.
For anyone who tracks their macros and had an emotional response from reading that, I’m sorry. I know, it’s crazy, but I gotta do what I gotta do.
I’ve always liked Greek yogurt as it’s pretty filling and a really good for you. Though, I stopped eating it because not gonna lie, Chobani became more and more unjustifiable to get when I saw $2 of Greek yogurt per cup 😭.
These Oikos protein Greek yogurt bins have been coming in clutch for me. Eating 2 servings gives 30 grams of protein of 180 calories, and a good source of everything under the sun. If you aren’t eating these, I HIIIIIIIIIGHLY recommend incorporating them into your diet and especially if you’re on a tight budget. For my recipe of overnight oats, I have healthier options, and I also have a standard one. Typically I will go for the healthier one, but for the recipe itself…
Macronutrients:
It will change if you decide to add peanut butter or not. If you do, take the latter half of the macros.
- Calories: 340 or 530
- Protein: 20 or 27 grams
- Fat: 4 or 20 grams
- Carbs: 38g or 46 grams
Ingredients:
- 1 serving Oikos Protein Yogurt
- 1 serving Peanut Butter (optional)
- 1 serving Oats
- Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1 serving Honey
- 1 tbsp of Cinnamon (optional)
Tips:
- Fruit can be added to this, along with dark chocolate if you have them. Make sure you cut the fruit before adding them in though. I personally only do this on occasion as chocolate is expensive, and fruit can be expensive sometimes. Mashed bananas I believe are one of the more favorable addition to this as long as it doesn’t mess with the flavor of the Greek yogurt you have.
- You can use any milk for this recipe, but the macros assume you use unsweetened almond milk. Make sure to adjust the macros when changing what milk you use.
Steps:
- Step 1: In a sealable cup, add in your oats, Greek yogurt, and honey. Mix around until fully combined
- Step 2: Add in your peanut butter, and fruit. Mix until combined as well.
- Step 3: Pour in your milk slowly and mix gently. Be careful in adding too much milk to where it has the consistency of a smoothie.
- Step 4: Close the lid and leave it in the fridge overnight. Take it out in the morning and enjoy the rest of your day!
