Equipment

1 mason jar (or airtight container with a lid)

Ingredients

⅓ cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon ground flax seeds
pinch cinnamon (optional)
1 tablespoon vanilla protein powder
¼ cup vanilla Skyr or Greek yogurt
½ cup milk (I use almond milk)
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅓ cup diced mango (I use frozen)

Instructions

In a glass jar or other airtight container, mix the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, flax seeds, and cinnamon. Give it a quick stir.
Add the mango and wet ingredients including the milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, and honey. Give it a good stir until everything is well combined. Let it sit about 10 minutes and then stir again. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least for 2 hours to let the oats soak. Add more milk as needed before adding your favorite toppings.
Hint: I like to serve it with an extra scoop of Greek yogurt.

Notes

Expert Tips

Use rolled oats (also called old-fashioned oats or traditional oats) for best texture when soaked.
For thicker oatmeal, add a bit less milk to the oat mixture.
If you like your overnight oats a bit thinner, add an extra splash of milk. The amount of milk will vary slightly depending on what kind of protein powder you use.
Be sure you like the flavor of your protein powder since it will impact the flavor of these overnight oats.
If you want, make a big batch in a large jar or separate it into individual serving containers for an easy breakfast for the week.

Storage

Refrigerator - store mango overnight oats in an airtight container. You can keep overnight oats in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
