Overnight Protein Oatmeal - 2 Ways

This post may contain affiliate sales links. Please read my disclosure policy.

Back when I was working as a personal training manager for a fitness facility, many of my days started when the club opened at 5:30am. These 10-14 hour days were very busy, so prepping food for the week was a must to ensure I continued to eat healthy. 

One of my go to breakfasts was overnight oats. I would prepare three days worth in half size Mason type jars and top with almonds and fresh fruit the day of. An easy meal to have at my desk. 

Overnight oats are super creamy, incredibly tasty, and almost dessert like, especially the Dark Chocolate Cherry version. They are packed with good carbs, protein, and fat.

Just note: I wouldn’t recommend trying to make them last longer than 4 days as they tend to get watery.

To a successful busy AND healthy lifestyle,
