Anna's tips for making protein overnight oats:

  • I often switch between different protein powders for variety - whey, pea and various flavours. If you’re vegan or dairy-free, a good-quality plant-based protein works just as well and blends in smoothly.
  • For extra texture, I like to stir in a handful of toasted nuts or seeds just before serving. Your can also boost the fibre content with fresh berries, sliced banana or by stirring in chia seeds.
  • These oats keep well in the fridge for up to three days, so I usually prepare a few jars at once for busy mornings. Just give them a good stir and a splash of milk before eating if they’ve thickened up overnight.
  • Don’t be afraid to play around with the flavours - try a dash of cinnamon, a swirl of nut butter or a spoonful of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist. Also get creative with different toppings. If you prefer your oats a little sweeter, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup does the trick.

Units:
  • 2 tbsp (30g) protein powder
    (vanilla flavour works well)
  • 200g porridge oats
    (gluten free if required)
  • 400ml milk
    (any kind)

  • 2 tsp maple syrup
    (or other sweetener), to taste
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
    (or other nut butter), plus extra to serve
  • 4 tbsp Greek yogurt
    to serve

    When you're ready to serve, mix the oats again and add a splash of milk or water if you want to loosen them a little. Serve with the yogurt, extra nut butter and frozen blueberries.
