High Protein Overnight Oatmeal

 I am not a math person. I faked my through it in high school and it's come back to bite me now that I am pursuing a degree, forcing me to retake the classes that I somehow managed to get A's in and yet learned nothing from. And because math and I don't get along, I will do just about anything to make sure I get an instructor that can explain it to me in a way that I can kinda sorta understand, even if that means getting up really early (for me, anyways) to get into their class. And since I am already bitter about having to get up early to go to a math class of all places, I need a breakfast that's already ready to go and isn't going to give me any attitude. That's why I LOVE overnight oatmeal. 

Okay, so I know there are about a thousand blogs out there with some variation on Overnight/Refrigerator Oatmeal, and they all basically follow the same principle. So does this one. But it's my version, and it's got Whey protein in it, which is just about my favorite thing right now. This version is also a bit higher on the calorie side, clocking in at just under 500 calories, but it has 47 grams of protein to keep me full for several hours. Not to mention it's super yummy, super easy to make, and super convenient! 

High Protein Refrigerator Oatmeal

1 0% Chobani Greek Yogurt, flavor of choice (or use 6 oz of other fat free yogurt, but Greek is best because it’s higher in protein)

½ cup frozen fruit, thawed

1/4 cup skim milk

1 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein powder (I use Body Fortress)

1 tablespoon sliced almonds (optional)

¼ cup rolled oats

Ingredients assemble!

                                              Place all ingredients in a one pint mason jar. 

Screw the lid on tightly and give it a good shake until ingredients are combined. Refrigerate overnight. 

Eat and enjoy! Serves 1.
