February 9, 2024

Indulge in the vibrant harmony of Lemon Bar Overnight Protein Oats—a fusion of zesty lemon, creamy oats, and wholesome nutrition. Begin with a base of 2/3 cup of your preferred milk (almond, cashew, or coconut), providing a creamy backdrop.

Combine old-fashioned oats (1/4 cup) and nutrient-rich chia seeds (2 tablespoons) for a satisfying texture and omega-3 boost. Enhance the sweetness and protein content with a serving of vanilla or salted caramel flavored protein powder. Introduce creaminess with 1/3 cup of nonfat plain Greek yogurt.

A dash of pink salt and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract enrich the flavor. Infuse the bright citrusy notes by adding the juice of half a lemon. Let the mixture rest overnight, allowing the oats to absorb the delightful flavors. Wake up to the refreshing goodness of Lemon Bar Overnight Protein Oats—a nourishing way to kickstart your day.
