So I've loved overnight oats for some time, but this is the first time that I loved them enough to post about them! My sister in law mentioned using chocolate protein powder, but I guess I never thought about it, since I don't consider chocolate a breakfast food. Here goes the recipe:

20g Rolled Oats (1/4 Cup)
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1/2 cup skim milk
1 banana

Mix the first 3 ingredients really well, the night before you plan on eating these. Slice up the banana and put it on top!

    They're amazing if you don't mind eating cold oats, and you don't have a lick of time in the morning!

    They're also quite filling!

    Since I have a lactose intolerance, can I substitute the milk with say SILK or something similar?

    edit: I also just read that you can do this with water as well. I'll have to try it out! Thanks for the idea!

    @Kristen - sounds delicious? Are you using steel cut, old-fashioned or instant? Thx for posting. Hoping to try this and knock out some running around in the morning.

    as an FYI, I ate this at 9, and I'm just getting hungry. I'd call this a win, since I'm usually starving by 11:30.

    Yes i have overnight oats for my brekky at work. I add chia seeds to mine but might also look at a protein powder. Never used protein powder before, what do i look for to make sure I'm mot getting one loaded with bad stuff?.
