These creamy overnight protein oats are a quick, filling breakfast that can be prepared in minutes the night before. Vanilla protein powder and Greek yoghurt give the oats a generous protein boost, while chia seeds help create a thick, satisfying texture. Fresh berries add natural sweetness and a bright, fruity finish. Simply mix everything in a jar, refrigerate overnight and enjoy it cold the next morning, with no cooking required.

Ingredients
50 g rolled oats
25 g vanilla protein powder
150 ml milk
100 g Greek yoghurt
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp honey
75 g mixed berries
Method
- Combine the dry ingredients: Place the rolled oats, protein powder and chia seeds in a jar or sealable container. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add the wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, then add the Greek yoghurt and honey. Stir thoroughly, making sure no pockets of protein powder remain.
- Add the berries: Gently fold most of the berries through the oat mixture, reserving a few for the topping.
- Chill overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Serve: Stir the oats before eating. Add a splash of milk if necessary, then finish with the reserved berries.
Tip: For thicker oats, reduce the milk slightly. For a softer consistency, stir in an extra splash just before serving.
