Ingredients & Inspiration
I’ve always really enjoyed overnight oats for their soft yet chewy texture, creamy mouthfeel and how easy they are to customize. But the one thing I didn’t like was that they didn’t keep me feeling full for very long after breakfast; probably because I often just used oats, plant milk and fruit for the longest time, which is mostly just carbs with little protein!
Once I started adding more protein and healthy fat to my recipes I found they became much more filling and energy-boosting. These High Protein Overnight Oats are packed with protein (macros below) and are the perfect breakfast for those on a high protein vegan diet or are trying to build lean muscle.

How to Make High Protein Overnight Oats
Each of these High-Protein Overnight Oats recipes are so easy to make! A perfect breakfast to whip up the night before.
Strawberry Rhubarb
- Make the strawberry rhubarb jam: In a small pot add the frozen chopped strawberries and rhubarb. Add a splash of water, then cover and heat through over medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes, until all the fruit has released their juices and have become mashable. Add the maple syrup and salt and stir to combine. Remove from heat, then stir in the chia seeds, let sit for 10 minutes to thicken and cool slightly, stirring every few minutes to help disperse the chia.
- Make the oats base: Add the oats into a medium mixing bowl. In a blender or shaker bottle, combine the yogurt, soy milk and protein powder and shake/blend until completely smooth with no powdery lumps. Pour over the oats and mix to combine well, then let sit for 10 to 15 minute to thicken slightly.
- Divide into jars: Grab 2 jars or containers. Once the jam is thick enough to spoon, add 2 tbsp into the bottom of each jar. Then take the slightly thickened oat mixture and pour overtop of the jam layer, evenly dividing the mix between all the jars. Add another 2 tbsp of jam above the oats, then seal the jars and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours but preferably overnight.
- Serving: In the morning, add 3 tbsp of protein yogurt. Serve with fresh strawberry slices and enjoy!
Blueberry Lemon
- Make the blueberry milk: to a blender jug, add the soy milk, water, yogurt, frozen blueberries maple syrup, vanilla, lemon zest and protein powder, then blend until smooth.
- Make the oats base: In a mixing bowl combine the rolled oats and the hemp seeds. Then stir them into the blender of blueberry milk and let sit for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Assemble the jars: Evenly divide the mixture into 3 jars and seal with a lid, then refigerate at least 4 hours or up to overnight. In the morning, serve with extra blueberries or banana slices and an extra sprinkle of lemon zest. Enjoy!
