Lately I have been switching up my breakfast and having overnight oatmeal sometimes. This Overnight Oats with Frozen Berries and Protein Powder is my go to overnight oatmeal recipe.
These oats are high in protein thanks to the protein powder and chia seeds. The frozen berries also add a nice sweetness to this recipe. Some oats will leave you feeling hungry within an hour, but not this recipe. These oats will keep you full thanks to the protein and healthy fats.
I love a good oatmeal recipe. For more yummy oatmeal recipes try my high protein overnight oats without protein powder or my pumpkin protein baked oats.

Recipe FAQ
I have tried at least 10 different protein powders and my favorite is Sprout Living. I get the vanilla lucuma but all of the flavors are good! I love this one because it is a complete protein source with no fillers or gums. They also use things like real vanilla or cacao so the protein doesn’t taste like chemicals.

Yes! I actually prefer frozen fruit to fresh fruit in oats. I especially love Wyman's wild blueberries in my oatmeal.
