Whipped Cottage Cheese Overnight Oats
Servings 2 servings
Add an extra dose of protein to your overnight oats - and a rich, creamy texture - by using blended cottage cheese. These cottage cheese overnight oats are decadently creamy, sweet, and packed with vanilla flavor yet contains a generous 29 grams of protein and no added sugar. Pair them with some berries for a simple, protein and fiber-rich start to any day!
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2/3 cup cottage cheese (I used 1%)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen thawed berries
Instructions
- Add oats, chia seeds, and protein powder to a large bowl.
- In a blender, blend together milk, cottage cheese and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the bowl with the oats and stir until combined. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- When ready to serve, stir in a bit more milk if you prefer a creamier texture. Divide into jars, glasses or bowls and top with fresh or frozen thawed berries (or try bananas and peanut butter, or other desired toppings). Enjoy!
Notes
- These overnight oats taste especially good with thawed frozen berries since the juices incorporate even more flavor into the oats.
- For a grab and go option, you can divide the oats, protein powder and chia seeds between two jars or bowls. Then pour equal amounts of the blended cottage between the jars and stir. Place in the fridge to thicken. Top with berries or other desired toppings.
