Prep-the-night-before oats with protein powder — cold, pudding-like, and requires zero morning effort when eating feels like a chore.
Make 2-3 jars on Sunday evening so you have grab-and-go breakfasts. On bad nausea days, just eat a few spoonfuls — some protein is better than none.
Serves 1 · 5 min prep
In a jar or container, combine 30g (1/3 cup) rolled oats, 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder, and a pinch of salt.
~1 min
Add 150ml (2/3 cup) milk (dairy or unsweetened almond) and 60g (1/4 cup) plain Greek yogurt. Stir well.
~2 min
For gluten-free, use certified GF oats. For dairy-free, use plant milk and skip the yogurt (add extra protein powder to compensate). For vegan, use plant protein powder and plant yogurt.
Seal and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
~1 min
In the morning, stir and eat cold. Add a few berries on top if you can manage them.
Oats are ~115 cal and 4g protein per 30g. Whey protein adds ~120 cal and 24g protein per scoop. Greek yogurt adds ~40 cal and ~6g protein. Milk adds ~20-60 cal depending on type. Total protein is split across ingredients.
