Get ready for your breakfast to be ROCKED. These overnight oats taste more like dessert than your typical grab-n-go breakfast, but they rock the balanced, recovery nutrition fit for a highly trained athlete <aka, YOU.>
When I saw lemon overnight oats on a clients food log, I clearly needed to know more. She said she bought them from a food prep company and wondered if we could figure out how to make them ourselves – challenge accepted! You all know I am constantly reminding us all we need to get enough protein at breakfast – so any chance I’ve got to create breakfast recipes with all the protein we need, I do. Studies show that adequate protein at breakfast helps control hunger throughout the day and can decrease night time snacking. For my morning athletes, this is also an imperative recovery meal.
I do not add protein powder to recipes often, but this recipe is one exception! I’m very particular about protein powders – and I favor Momentous essential whey protein. Why?! Because there are minimal ingredients, it is NSF certified <no crap, just the good stuff> and just a pinch of stevia. If you’re in the market for a new protein powder, give this a try. Or, use your favorite protein powder. I recommend just using 1/2 a scoop, since these oats also have protein coming from the Skyr <or Greek> yogurt + don’t forget oats have some protein too! <<Use code MeghannF15 for 15% off orders at Momentous.>>
Overnight oats might not be the prettiest breakfast but they sure are some of the tastiest! <<They are also the cure for your ‘I’m too busy in the morning to eat breakfast’ woes>>

Lemon Pie Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- 5.3 oz vanilla Skyr
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
- 1/2 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 tsp chia seeds
Instructions
- In a mason jar or container with a tight lid, combine all the ingredients. Cover. Shake until well combined.
- Store in the refrigerator overnight and enjoy!
- These can be stored for 2 - 3 days, longer is safe but the texture might change a little.
Notes
- These can easily be made vegan with nondairy milk and yogurt and vegan protein powder. I'd recommend using a whole serving of vegan protein powder as the nondairy yogurts do not provide much protein. Adjust the amount of liquid as needed - sometimes vegan protein powders absorb more liquid, therefore need more in a recipe.

- I hung onto these guys for 4 days and tried a bite every day to test how well they saved. The flavor stayed consistent. But, the texture changes dramatically on day 3 - less chewy. If you make then for a week, I'd recommend making 2 - 3 at a time. Then, repeat.

Hello! This looks really good. Trying the code for Momentous but it isn’t working. Is it still valid? Thank you!
