Ingredients for Pistachio Protein Overnight Oats

This pistachio overnight protein oats recipe is made with simple and healthy ingredients, sweetened with protein powder with no extra sugars.

• Oats – Instant or Rolled Oats

For the pistachio protein pudding:

To make Pistachio Pudding Overnight Oatmeal with Protein Powder

This pistachio pudding overnight oats recipe with protein powder is super quick and easy.

1. Blend the oats ingredients in a blender: Oats, protein powder, flaxseed, milk, yogurt.

2. Make pudding: Whisk the milk, yogurt, protein powder and pudding mix in a bowl.

3. Assemble: Pour oats into 2 jars, add pistachio pudding on top.

4. Cover and place in the fridge to chill for about 1-2 hours.
   The oats need this time to absorb the liquid and soften, creating that creamy and delicious texture.
