This is like eating dessert for breakfast but in the healthiest way! Plant-based and packed with protein and fiber to keep you full.

Why I Love This Recipe
- Protein-Packed: I use Wellious x HealthyGirl Chocolate Peanut Butter protein along with soy milk and whole-grain oats for a protein-packed breakfast, essential for muscle repair, satiety, immune health, and hormone function.
- Healthy Breakfast: Starting the day with a balanced, nourishing breakfast is going to set you up for success to feel energized, satiated, and help avoid an afternoon crash, similar to my Hydrating Nature’s Gatorade.
- Meal Prep Friendly: I love overnight oats because they will store well in the fridge all week long. Make 4-5 jars have breakfast for every day of the week, swapping out the toppings each day.

Notes on Ingredients
- Oats: Use organic, whole, rolled oats. Opt for organic which will be better for the gut. Use leftover oats to make Snickers Baked Oatmeal or Maple Walnut Granola next.
- Soy Milk: I like to use organic soy milk for its flavor and protein boost (8g in 1 cup) but any non-dairy milk will work. Try to use plain and unsweetened.
- Wellious Protein Powder: These High Protein Chocolate Brownie Overnight Oats use 1 scoop of Wellious x HealthyGirl Chocolate PB Protein for that delicious, chocolate fudge brownie flavor and texture. No chalkiness or weird aftertastes whatsoever.

Commonly Asked Questions
Overnight oats are typically eaten cold, but if you prefer them warm, you can just heat them in the microwave or pan for a couple of minutes until warmed to your preferred texture. If you prefer warmed oats, try Berry Muffin Baked Oatmeal or Snickers Baked Oatmeal.
I use one scoop of Wellious x HealthyGirl Chocolate Peanut Butter protein. It’s seriously the best plant-based protein powder on the market. No chalky or grainy texture, no weird aftertaste, and absolutely no weird ingredients. It never bloats me either! It’s perfect in overnight oats, smoothies, baking recipes, in coffee, or even just blended with milk or water.
One serving of these oats has 30-35 grams of protein. The other protein packed breakfast I make all the time is veggie frittata egg bites.
Starting your day with a protein-rich breakfast is going to help keep you full and keep your cravings at bay. Instead of eating less, focus on eating more good quality foods that are going to keep you energized. Balanced meals are key! These principles have helped me maintain a healthy vegan diet and lifestyle for 10+ years now.
Overnight oats do best when they’ve been refrigerated for enough time that the oats have soaked up a good amount of liquid, resulting in a thick and creamy bowl of oatmeal. They don’t have to sit fully overnight, but at the minimum need to sit for 4 hours.
