Protein-packed Breakfast

Jump to Recipe

Are you looking for a grab-and-go breakfast? Look no further. This chocolate banana overnight oats recipe is the answer. It only takes a few minutes to make the night before. The great thing about this recipe is the variety, you can swap out ingredients or add some to change up the taste. Start with the basics or the base: oats, a banana, protein powder, and milk. I use almond milk because it is lower in calories, but feel free to use flavored almond milk or even your favorite chocolate-flavored milk.

Begin by breaking the banana into a few pieces and dropping it into the jar to make this easy breakfast. Mash the banana in the bottom of the jar using a spoon. If you do not have a glass jar and lid on hand, you can use a drinking glass.

Next, add a half cup of oats. I prefer to Kodiak Protein Oats for the extra protein, you can use your favorite rolled oats. Place the jar in the refrigerator and let it sit overnight.

After the oats, I add the protein powder. For this particular brand, one scoop is a serving. I have used other brands that measure 2 scoops for a serving. Depending on the brand of protein powder you are using will determine the serving size. Use the suggested serving size to ensure you get the maximum amount of protein in your breakfast.

My favorite ingredient is dark chocolate chips. I found an allergen-free brand: no dairy, nuts, etc. This is optional but adds a nice texture to the oats. You can also add walnuts or pecans if you like nuts.

Lastly, add the milk and stir, combining all the ingredients.

Once the ingredients are well-combined, cover with the lid and place in the refrigeration.

How easy is that? The next morning grab your jar and go. You can eat it straight from the jar. No cooking is required.
