This Overnight Greek Yogurt Protein Oatmeal is the perfect breakfast solution when there is no time for breakfast prep in the morning. This protein-packed power porridge recipe will keep you running until lunchtime! Loaded with 28 grams of quality protein and 9 grams of fiber, you won't have any belly rumbling after this healthy breakfast.
I love this recipe so much because it's packed with great nutrients to get your day off to an epic start. You get a whopping 9 grams of fiber from the oats and chia seeds! That's a great start to hit my daily fiber goal of 25-30 grams a day. Not to mention, you have two quality sources of protein from the pasteurized egg whites and Greek yogurt. Another reason to love this bowl is that it's a blend of prebiotics and probiotics for a healthy gut. You get prebiotics from the oats and probiotics from the Greek yogurt. It's a magical combo. I've been focusing a lot on gut health in my own diet in the last few years.
