How to Make High‑Protein Peanut Butter, Banana & Blueberry Overnight Oats

3. Mix in Dry Ingredients
Add the oats and chia seeds, stirring well. Fold in blueberries gently.

Spoon the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Leftovers and Storage
These oats stay fresh in the fridge for 4–5 days. Store in individual jars for easy grab-and-go meals. If the mixture thickens too much, stir in a little milk before serving.
Keep fresh fruit toppings separate until ready to eat to maintain texture. Do not freeze, as it affects the oats’ and fruit’s consistency.
Recipe FAQ
1. Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes! Just thaw them slightly or stir them in frozen—either way, they’ll soften overnight.
2. Can I leave out the yogurt?
You can, though the yogurt adds creaminess and protein. Sub with extra almond milk and an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.
3. Can I make this with quick oats?
Yes, quick oats work fine and soften faster—great if you’re short on soaking time.
4. Can I use chunky peanut butter?
Definitely! Chunky peanut butter adds extra texture and a satisfying crunch.
5. How do I boost the sweetness naturally?
Add more mashed banana or a touch of cinnamon instead of maple syrup.
