Overnight Protein Oats (a.k.a. PROATS)
Your first meal of the day is important. It affects your blood sugar, energy levels, and brainpower. It can even affect your mood for the rest of the day!
If those things sound important to you, make sure your breakfast includes ample amounts of protein and fiber. That’s what this recipe does.

These proats will rock your face off.
Overnight oats have long been a favorite in the fitness world. They offer slow-digesting carbohydrates and fiber, plus they’re easy to make. But they don’t naturally have much protein in them, which is important if you care about maintaining (or growing) muscle mass, having strong bones, and supporting your immune system.
That’s why adding protein to them is a great idea for a quick, easy breakfast that checks lots of boxes. To check even more boxes, I like to add a little extra fiber to them!
