Pumpkin Protein Overnight Oats Ingredients
This “proats” recipe includes a variety of foods from my dietitian-approved grocery list including high-quality protein, “slow” carbs, protein, and healthy fats for sustained energy and balanced blood sugar.
When you start your day with a protein-packed breakfast that doesn’t spike your blood sugar, you’ll minimize hunger and cravings for the remainder of the day.
For an added protein boost, I used Vital Proteins unflavored collagen peptides for this recipe. You can use your favorite collagen, or a flavored protein powder can also be substituted for collagen. One LIFe member raved about this recipe and substituted Ryse Cinnamon Toast protein powder.
As this recipe sits overnight, the oats and chia seeds become saturated and thicken this Pumpkin Protein Overnight Oats recipe.
Plus, with no-added-sugar, this Pumpkin Protein Overnight Oat recipe is packed with fiber which helps with digestion, regularity, and helps steady blood glucose all morning long.
Topping Suggestions
If you’re looking to spruce up these Pumpkin Protein Overnight Oats, add a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream. For crunch and to amp up heart-healthy fats, add chopped walnuts or pecans for an extra nutritional boost.
