How To Sneak 25 Grams Of Protein (& Coffee) Into Your Overnight Oats

As I rush to get my day started, I often find myself making a quick cup of coffee first thing in the morning. It gives me a quick boost of energy, but I know that eating a balanced breakfast built around a complete protein source will be more nourishing and satiating in the long run.

My go-to Coffee Crunch Overnight Oats are not only rich in fiber from the oats and chia seeds, but they also provide a hit of high-quality protein from mindbodygreen grass-fed whey protein isolate+ in chocolate.

Research shows that eating around 25-30 grams of protein in a meal like breakfast can provide you with many health-supporting benefits. Eating an adequate amount of protein helps with fullness1 and can keep your blood sugar and energy levels stable2. Protein, particularly the amino acid leucine, can also stimulate muscle protein synthesis.*

Adding a serving of mindbodygreen grass-fed whey protein isolate+ to recipes like these overnight oats delivers 25 grams of complete protein and 2.5 grams of leucine from grass-fed cows. Unlike many other protein powders on the market, this one comes with minimal and wholesome ingredients like organic cocoa, Himalayan salt, and organic cinnamon. It's sweetened with organic monk fruit, which doesn’t leave the unpleasant aftertaste of artificial sweeteners.

These Coffee Crunch Overnight Oats are a nutritious choice that provides lasting energy—without leading me to a caffeine crash. Their nutrient profile also makes them a great post-workout recovery snack.
