“Sugar Cookie” Vanilla Protein Overnight Oats

Quick & Easy Breakfast

Whether you have 5 or 30 minutes in the morning, overnight oats make a delicious breakfast option, packing lots of protein, fresh fruit flavor, and nutrients to help get you going. Start your day on the right foot with these delicious vanilla protein overnight oats.

Rather than rush to make a lavish breakfast in the morning, spoil yourself by taking time the night before to prep your overnight oats. All you need to do is combine the base ingredients and prep your toppings separately, which will be added in the morning once the oats have had time to thicken.

Overnight Oats Toppings

The toppings on these oats are entirely up to you. I like to add fresh strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to my bowl in the morning. This recipe makes the oats taste like a vanilla cookie, so sweet, fruity toppings always work well. You can also choose to add nut butter, coconut shreds, or salted nuts for a more savory twist.
