How Much Protein is in Protein Rich Overnight Oats?
This protein overnight oats recipe contains a staggering 36 grams of protein for the regular version and 32 grams of protein for a non-dairy vegan version.
Majority of the protein for this overnight oats recipe comes from the scoop of protein powder, which for this version we’re using a chocolate protein powder from pea protein isolate, but you’re welcome to use any protein powder of your preference. Also pretty much any protein powder flavor works, but to my opinion the best result comes with chocolate or vanilla protein powder flavors.
Examples of proteins in overnight oat ingredients:
- Rolled oats (40g / ½ cup): 6.7 g protein / 156 calories / 4.2g fibers
- Chocolate protein powder (30g / one scoop): 21g protein / 116 calories / 1.7g fat (can be any other protein powder)
