Basic Overnight Oats with Protein

[missyinacage]

Hi. This is a basic recipe for overnight oatmeal, sometimes called refrigerator oatmeal, with protein. You can add pretty much any flavorings you like. I'll list a few of my favorites just to give you an idea of measurements for YOUR favorite flavor add ons. .

1 C Rolled Oats --- Do not use quick cook
1 C Milk --- if you use ultra filtered high protein milk (or Diane's Magic Milk) this will up your protein content as well
1 C Greek Yogurt --- If making a flavor, you can use that flavor. I always use plain.)
1 Scoop of Protein Powder
*You may want to add a packet of sweetener, or a T. Maple Syrup or Honey if you use plain Greek Yogurt and unflavored protein powder.

Mix and refrigerate overnight (8 hours.) It will last up to 4 days, but it does get soggy, so it's best the first 2 days.

You know what CC? It would be a great exercise for you to figure out the calories and protein grams in this food. I keep reading your posts and it sounds like you're not learning as if it were second nature for you. Doing this, trying to calculate calories and protein grams, is incredibly difficult. I do it all the time and I am what they used to call "math anxious," so it's an extra scary thing for me to do. But I do it, because I want to know.

And if you do it, soon you will be able to recite the calorie content of every piece of food you encounter, from meat to pasta to vegetables to dairy.

I use MyFitnessPal to log food and this is what I came up with for calories - carbs - protein - fiber - sodium - sugar. I'm not sure that someone would be able to eat all of that at 1 meal. It would take me a couple of meals possibly over a couple of days. So if you get 3 meals out of it
calories - 297 -- carbs - 39g --protein - 20g --fiber - 2g -- sodium - 40g -- sugar - 20g -- This would be the numbers per meal for 3 total meals.
