With these around and in your refrigerator, there’s no excuse not to crush breakfast. If you are an early morning runner or workout before the sun comes up, rushing into your day often means not pausing for adequate recovery fuel. Not a morning worker outer?! Research suggests eating a breakfast rich in protein and fiber helps control hunger and food cravings for the rest of the day. With 44 g protein and 7 g fiber, your day is in good hands with these PB&J Overnight Oats.

Just dump all the ingredients into a mason jar or container with a tight lid, shake, store in the fridge overnight, and breakfast is served! Feel free to use your favorite jam to really make these your own. You can also make more than one at a time. Using old-fashioned oats will hold up without losing the texture for 3 – 4 days. If you prefer that overnight texture, whip one up each night before bed for the next morning. It will only take you a couple of minutes.

If you’re in a hurry, grab a spoon and eat them right out of the jar. If you are feeling fancy or prefer a ‘sit-down’ meal, pour into a bowl, top with more jam, and drizzle some peanut butter for a truly delicious and special breakfast. Who says delicious has to be hard?!

Notes

Nutrition Facts:
1 serving: 520 kcal | 8 g fat | 78 g carb | 7 g fiber | 44 G protein (without toppings)
Substitutions:
Vegan: To make these vegan, use non-dairy yogurt & vegan protein
powder. You may need to add more liquid before eating, as plant-based
protein powders absorb more liquid. Don’t have plant-based yogurt?
Try using a full serving of plant-based protein & double the liquid.
Chia seeds: Increase to 2 tsp if you like a thicker overnight oats.
Maple syrup: Feel free to omit if you want.
Old fashioned oats: You can use quick oats but the texture is mushier. I
would recommend eating the next day and not saving for more than 24
hours.
How-to-Use:
Athletes: Get ready to crush your carb and protein needs in a fast, delicious breakfast. This one should do the trick. 
Healthy Eating: If you want to decrease carbs, leave out the maple syrup & do not top with more jam. This high protein, high fiber breakfast should leave you feeling satisfied until lunch.  
Kids: Half the serving would be great for younger kids.
