If you’re looking for a simple, high-protein breakfast that fits into a bariatric lifestyle, these Protein Overnight Oats are one of the easiest meal prep options you can make.
In just a few minutes, you can prep multiple breakfasts for the week with zero cooking required. I made four bowls at once — two vanilla and two chocolate — so my mornings are already handled.
This recipe is great for busy schedules, post-op routines, and anyone trying to stay consistent with protein-forward meals.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup protein shake (Nurri Vanilla or Fairlife Chocolate — or your favorite)
