Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use almond milk instead of the vanilla protein drink?
Yes, almond milk can be used as a lower-calorie alternative, but this will reduce the protein content of the oatmeal.
What if I don't have vanilla whey protein?
You can substitute with any flavored or unflavored protein powder you have, but the flavor profile may vary slightly.
Can I prepare this recipe without chia seeds?
Yes, but chia seeds add thickness and fiber, so the texture will be thinner without them.
How long does the overnight oatmeal keep in the fridge?
It will keep well for up to 4 days when stored in an airtight container.
Can this recipe be made vegan?
Yes, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use a vegan protein drink and whey alternative to make it fully vegan.
