Yield: 5

Author: Megan Gaul from Partake Meal Planning

Prep time: 5 MinInactive time: 24 HourTotal time: 24 H & 5 M

This is a 5 minute meal-prep (for a whole week's worth of breakfasts!), and it only takes 2 minutes to put together in the morning. It's sweet, spiced, and the crunchy/chewy texture of the date/pistachio topping is so satisfying. Plus, it's under 350 calories, it's got 24 g of protein, and it's got 8 g of fiber per serving! I know you'll love this overnight oats recipe for your weight-loss journey, and beyond.

An extra note: I have Celiac disease, so that's why I formulated this recipe with gluten-free ingredients. Feel free to adjust to your favorite brands, if you don't have to be strictly gluten-free!

Ingredients

For the overnight oats mixture:

• 2 1/3 cups (180 g) certified gluten-free rolled oats, such as Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free*
• 5 tsp (20 g) certified gluten-free flaxeed meal, such as Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free*
• 5 tsp (20 g) certified gluten-free whole chia seeds, such as Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free*
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp ground cardamom, labelled gluten free, such as Badia brand*
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, labelled gluten free, such as Badia brand*
• 1/4 tsp ground clove, labelled gluten free, such as Badia brand*
• 1 1/5 tsp ground cinnamon, labelled gluten free, such as Badia brand*
• 2.5 cups (600 ml) water

To make 1 serving in the morning:

• 21 g of vanilla protein powder, labelled gluten-free, such as Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Ice Cream flavor* - you need a total of 105 g for the week
• 1 chopped date (approximately 7 g) - you need a total of 5 dates, or 35 g for the week
• 1 tbsp chopped pistachios (approximately 7 g), labelled gluten-free, such as Wonderful Roasted & Salted Pistachios No Shell* - you need a total of 5 tbsp, or 35 g for the week

Instructions

For the overnight oats mixture:

1. Combine oats, chia, flax, kosher salt, spices, and water in a large soup container. Mix as best you can. Store in the fridge for the week so that the chia seeds, flax, and oats absorb the water and plump up.

To make 1 serving in the morning

1. Scoop out one-fifth (1/5) of the mixture into your bowl. This is around 1 scant cup, or approximately 160 g if you made this recipe using a food scale.
2. Add the 21 g of protein powder to this mixture, and stir until it's completely blended in.
3. Add your chopped date and chopped pistachios (sprinkle over the top).
