Why you should make Overnight Oats with Protein Powder
I always add protein powder to all of my oats. It is an easy way to get more protein in your diet and adds a great creamy sweet vanilla flavor. I am not a fan of smoothies or shakes so this is an awesome alternative way of using protein powder.

NOTES
Milk Substitutions
Low-fat milk and skim milk will provide 5g of protein. Optionally you can use almond, soy, coconut, or oat milk and adjust the protein accordingly.
Monk Fruit Sweetener
Finally, a sugar substitute has been developed without an after taste! Optionally you can add honey or agave but it will increase the calories. You can also try omitting any additional sweetener since your protein powder may be sweet enough.
