Instructions
- Combine all dry ingredients in mason jars with lids.
- When ready to serve, pour in one cup of preferred milk, or more if desired (can use regular or milk alternative such as almond milk, or even hot water if you don’t have access to milk – like in a hotel room).
- Stir or secure the lid on and shake so that all ingredients are incorporated together.Allow mixture to soak in fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve the overnight oats cold, warm or at room temperature!
- Serve with additional milk, fruit or toppings if desired.
Notes
- The nutritional facts are calculated based on the base of the recipe (the oats, protein powder, chia seeds and skim milk). The extra add-ins have not been calculated, but you can add these using a tool like my fitnesspal to calculate the total nutritional facts for each recipe.
- I chose to incorporate a bit of vegan vanilla protein powder (my favourite is Sunwarrior Vanilla or Genuine Health Vegan Fermented Vanilla protein powder) to increase the protein content, but you can also use a vanilla whey protein powder if preferred.
- Since we’re trying to keep these jars shelf-stable for gifts/traveling, I opted to go with protein powder to increase the protein content, but you could always incorporate skim milk powder, Greek yogurt or cottage cheese when ready to serve (along with the milk) if you can do dairy.
- The vanilla protein powder also adds a bit of extra sweetness so no added sugar is required. If you find that you do require some additional sweetness, you can add a bit of honey, maple syrup, date syrup or other desired sweetener.
- You can print and add these cute printable chalkboard labels to the jars if you’re giving it as a gift, or even if you’re just making the recipes for yourself. Just because it’s chalkboard, and fun to look at, and will also help you remember which flavour is which. I made them to fit these 16 oz mason jars, but you could try trimming them down to fit other sized mason jars as well.
