You see this picture… pretty huh? Who has time for that bow nonsense? I don’t! I am a busy woman. I generally make my oats and attach my reusable spoon with a produce rubber band I have recycled. Very much like this.
In order to make sure I eat on time. I have started back up making overnight oats. But I found a protein oat mix that simplifies things instead of having to add protein powder.
I based it of the base overnight oat recipe from (https://feelgoodfoodie.net/recipe/overnight-oats/) , but added some different ingredients. Like the protein oats.
This has protein, carbs, is vegetarian, can be vegan, and very tasty!
Here is an updated version of overnight oats the way I make it with more protein. Enough of the chatter on with the recipe:
Protein Packed Overnight Oats with Cinnamon Apples and Cranberries
yield 1 serving
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of protein oats
- 1/2 cup of milk of your choice, I use non dairy milk
- 1/4 cup of Skyr or Icelandic yogurt
- 1 tbs chia seeds or 10 grams
- 1 tbs of sweetener of choice, I use local honey
- sprinkle of cinnamon
- 1 tbs of probiotic dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup of water
- 6 grams or a hand full crushed Freeze dried cinnamon apples
Directions:
Add everything to the jar, or container, and stir really well. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
Note:
- I add more water because I am using dried fruit and freeze dried fruit.
- You can add fresh fruit instead of the dried fruit
- You can add unsweetened cocoa powder
- You can even add chocolate chips

Let me say this… yesterday was a bit of a bust. I ate within an hour after waking good. Then I ate at the next designated time also good, but then got super busy not good. So missed the 3rd and 4th eating time. Ended up not having a lunch type meal till 7 hours after. That is no bueno for me. Hey but I was able to eat at some of the times I planned out.
I hope you get a chance to try this out. I love it… I am weird and love that freeze dried apple reconstituted in water or milk taste. It reminds me of my childhood.
