Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Overnight Oats
A high protein, blood sugar-friendly, kid-friendly breakfast
Mornings in my house always feel like there is a LOT going on. Even when I packed the lunches and filled the water bottles the night before.
But, you know what? When I prepped overnight oats the night before, it definitely takes the edge off.
I don’t even have to think about what anyone is going to eat because my whole family loves these.
And, although I refuse to be a line cook and custom-make meals for each person, these are easy to customize to each person’s preference with a few simple ingredient swaps.
Also, since I’m a perimenopausal woman dead set on starting my day with about 30 grams of protein, you can rest assured that my version is high protein, as well as blood-sugar balancing with fiber and healthy fats added.
The beauty of this? You will feel satiated for HOURS. I never need a mid-morning snack after eating this for breakfast.
So, line up the glass containers and start filling ‘em up the night before.
I’m sharing my favorite flavor combination here—chocolate peanut butter—but you can easily swap the protein powder flavor and the optional add-ins to make it your favorite.
This is also a great breakfast to take with you on-the-go! Enjoy and leave me a comment if you try them.
