Why These Overnight Oats Are Awesome

Name a flavor pairing better than peanut butter and banana. I’ll wait…

Yep. You really can’t go wrong with those two. I love the slight saltiness of the peanut butter and the slight sweetness of the banana. There’s so much flavor here, you won’t even need any sweetener.

Aside from being delicious (obviously important), bananas and peanut butter also pack a punch when it comes to nutrition.

Both peanut butter and the banana are packed with potassium for a healthy heart.
Peanut butter is a great source of healthy fat to keep you satisfied and help you absorb fat-soluble vitamins.
The oats and banana contain fiber to promote good digestion.
Protein from the secret ingredient (shhh… it’s protein powder!) oats, and peanut butter keep you full and satisfied.

Preparation Steps

1. Mix dry ingredients and milk in a jar

First, add the dry ingredients (oats, protein powder, and chia seeds) to the jar. I always put the lid on and give it a good shake to ensure that everything is evenly distributed. Then, add enough milk to cover your oats, put the lid on, and shake vigorously.

2. Refrigerate

To give your oats time to “cook,” refrigerate them for at least 4 hours or overnight. When you’re ready to eat, the oats should have absorbed most of the liquid and softened considerably.

3. Add toppings

Add sliced banana and a drizzle of peanut butter right before eating. (If you add bananas the night before, they’re still fine to eat but they’ll be brown!)
