High Protein Overnight Oats With Greek Yogurt And Raspberries

These overnight oats with greek yogurt are so much more flavorful than your average oatmeal. Creamy and light, yet super filling and tasty.

high protein overnight oats

Ever since I discovered how to make oats actually healthy, I’ve been obsessed. I’m constantly making new creations to match my current cravings. And one of my favorite flavor combinations is raspberries with lemon.

This combo is light and refreshing but also has amazing health benefits. Raspberries are insanely high in fiber to help prevent hunger, and lemon is well known for its blood sugar stabilizing benefits. Plus, it just tastes so dang good.

Today I’m sharing one of the recipes from my recently released free 5 Day High Protein Overnight Oats Challenge. If you haven’t already gotten the download, grab it with the form below:

Key Ingredients

Greek Yogurt

Naturally acidic foods like greek yogurt help to break down the anti-nutrients found in oats. By soaking oats in yogurt overnight, it helps to make your breakfast easier to digest. Plus, greek yogurt has about three times more protein than regular yogurt, making it more supportive of a weight loss and wellness goal.

Zero Added Sugar Protein Powder

Just using greek yogurt alone in overnight oats can make it pretty tricky to hit your protein needs. This is where a high quality protein powder comes into play. I use my zero added sugar Vanilla Protein Powder to significantly boost protein while also enhancing the flavor.

Unlike most other protein powder, I only use 100% whey isolate for a more digestible, gut-friendly protein. To keep it zero added sugar while still tasting incredible, we use monk fruit extract — a natural zero added sugar sweetener — for a lightly sweet, vanilla flavor.

Plus, it mixes incredibly well into recipes like this one! No clumping or chalkiness. Just smooth, protein-packed goodness.

Chia Seeds

To slow down the release of carbs that are found in oats, it’s very important to add in a high fiber food like chia seeds. Just two tablespoons of chia seeds has about 7 grams of fiber. It also adds healthy fats to raise satiety hormones that make you feel full and satisfied all morning long.

Hemp Seeds

These are another great source of anti-inflammatory fats to help prevent hunger. They also add a nice nutty flavor that pairs well with greek yogurt.

Storing and Meal Prep

Keep fully prepped overnight oats in a sealed glass container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For this reason, you can make 5 days worth of overnight oats at a time as long as you store them in the fridge.

Ingredient Swaps

  • Low-carb: Use 1/4 cup ground flax seeds in place of oats.
  • Plant-based: Use plant-based greek style yogurt instead of greek yogurt. Sub in unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk in place of whole milk. Use a high quality plant-based protein powder.
  • Dairy-free: Same as the plant-based swaps.
  • Higher fiber: Use edible basil seeds instead of chia seeds for double the fiber.

FAQ’s

How long does it last in the fridge?

About 5 days. Any longer and it can start to get too mushy.

Can you heat it up after soaking it?

Technically you can heat it on the stove top on a low heat, but I would advise against it. Warming yogurt is tricky business and can lead to a curdled milk texture.
