Notes

FAQ: Can I make overnight oats without protein powder?

Absolutely. I designed this recipe so that even without protein powder you still get 23 g of protein per serving. For the most protein, use dairy or soy milk as your liquid and choose dairy or soy yogurt as well. Other ways to increase protein include adding smooth cottage cheese, hemp hearts, powdered peanut butter, nuts, seeds, or nut butter.
