How To Make Them

Are Overnight Oats Healthy?

Yes! Oats are packed with nutrients and vitamins. You are getting complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats all in one meal. Overnight Oats are a great meal to start off your day because they will keep you full and you can just grab them and go if you are in a hurry in the morning.

Here are some awesome nutritional perks to these protein overnight oats:

• Oats - Oats are full of whole grains and a type of fiber called beta-glucan, which helps with cholesterol, blood sugar levels, and helps keep you fuller longer. They are also loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant plant compounds.
• Peanut Butter - Peanut butter contains omega-6, which lowers bad cholesterol and raises good cholesterol. Peanut butter also has a lot of antioxidants!
• Greek Yogurt - Greek yogurt is full of protein, probiotics, vitamins, and minerals such as Vitamin B-12, calcium, and iodine.
• Protein Powder - Good source of protein and helps keep you fuller longer.

Why Is Consuming Protein Important?

• Protein is nutrient-rich, so it helps you stay fuller longer. You are more likely to eat less when you have high protein meals because you won't have the munchies!
• It boosts your metabolism & increases fat burning.
• It increases muscles & strength. If you are lifting weights and not eating enough protein, you aren't going to see much of a difference!
• It lowers your blood pressure.

Optional Add Ins/Substitutions

As I mentioned above, overnight oats are extremely customizable. Here are some optional add ins/substitutions:

How Do You Eat Overnight Oats?

I get this question A LOT! I know it may sound odd at first, but you actually eat these cold! That is why they are so nice for when you are on the go because you do not have to heat them up. The oats soak up a lot of the moisture when they soak overnight and become super soft and delicious when you enjoy them in the morning!

How Long Do Overnight Oats Stay Good For?

You can keep your overnight oats in the fridge for up to 3 days. If they go any longer than that, I feel like they can be too mushy if you know what I'm saying! When I am meal prepping overnight oats, I will make 3 days worth in advance so I am not spending much time in the kitchen during the week!
