High Protein Pumpkin Overnight Oats Meal Prep

High Protein Pumpkin Overnight Oats Meal Prep


  • Total Time: 6 hours
  • Diet: High-Protein, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats (not quick oats)
  • 2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Pure Pumpkin Puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 2 cups Unsweetened Milk (almond, soy, or cow’s milk)
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup or Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt until there are no clumps of protein powder.
  2. Add the pumpkin puree, Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  3. Stir the mixture vigorously with a large spoon or spatula until every oat is coated and the pumpkin is fully incorporated. The mixture should look like a thick batter.
  4. Line up four to five glass jars (mason jars work perfectly). Distribute the mixture evenly among the jars, leaving a little room at the top for toppings.
  5. Seal the jars with their lids and place them in the refrigerator.
  6. Let the oats soak for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, to reach the perfect creamy consistency.
  7. Before eating, give the oats a quick stir. If they are too thick, add a tiny splash of milk to semicolon loosen them up.
