Overnight Oatmeal High-Protein Banana Pudding Parfaits

Looking for a breakfast boost? I’ve got just the thing: a protein-rich treat that’s easy to make and packed with flavor.

Say hello to our Overnight Oatmeal High-Protein Banana Pudding Parfaits!

Overnight Oatmeal High-Protein Banana Pudding Parfaits are about to become your new obsession!

As a busy mom, I know how hard it can be to get a healthy breakfast on the table, but these parfaits are a total crowd pleaser.

With a boost of protein from cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, you’ll be fueled up and ready to take on the day in no time!

Plus, they’re ridiculously easy to make and can be prepped ahead of time, because let’s be real, mornings can be chaotic!

With the convenience of overnight oats, you can skip the morning chaos and enjoy a stress-free breakfast routine. Simply prep, refrigerate, and indulge in the morning!

Plus, with the option to customize with your favorite milk and sweetener, these oats are tailored to your taste preferences.

Use ANY unsweetened/plain milk of your choice.

My personal favorite for these overnight oats is unsweetened coconut milk or cashew milk.

Any unsweetened nut milk, coconut milk, high-quality grass-fed cow’s milk, or heavy cream all work really well here. Use what you personally like and have on hand.

The sweetness factor is such a PERSONAL preference, so please consider this when adding in raw honey, or pure maple syrup. Depending on your taste, you may want a bit more or less.

-> I recommend “Just Ingredients” Vanilla Bean protein powder for this recipe.

Why is the Just Ingredients Protein Powder & collagen our FAVORITE option?

The protein comes from 5 sources: 100% super high-quality grass-fed whey, pea protein, pumpkin seed, chia seeds and collagen. There is a lot less whey compared to normal protein powders so it may be easier on the stomach than other protein powders!

Free from sugar, gluten, artificial sweeteners or any artificial ingredients.

Everything You Need To Know About Oats:

What size containers or jars?
8-ounce glass canning jars or 16-ounce glass canning jars work GREAT for overnight oats.

I often make these in 8 oz mason jars, and they are filled all the way to the top.

If you make them 16 oz jars, you’ll have plenty of room to stir everything together before you enjoy.

Banana Bread Oats:

Many of you know my obsession with overnight oats started over ten years ago right as my kids were hitting the pre-teen and teenage years. Overnight Oats saved my sanity and our morning routine!

I truly wanted to serve them something nourishing and energy-packed every morning, but dang mornings were often demoralizing with four kids – a few years later that became six kids (2 bonus/step teens).

Having something that was literally ready-to-eat when we woke up + knowing it was packed with carefully chosen ingredients made my life so much easier! A few of my kids loved them, and a few took longer to come around – but they eventually did!

Yes, we eat this cold, but you *can* heat ’em up on a cold day if you like!

“Soaked” oats save a lot of time in the morning, but they’re also easier to digest than unsoaked oats.

As the oats soak overnight, their digestibility greatly improves, here’s how:

Overnight as they soak, the starches break down which improves digestibility, and the natural phytic acid (which all plants contain) is greatly reduced which makes them more easily absorbed by your body!

Yes. These oats are meant to be eaten cold like pudding.

4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
  • 2 tsps vanilla extract
  • 3 bananas, divided
  • 2-3 Tbsps maple syrup or raw honey, to taste

For the overnight oats:

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/4 cup chia seeds
  • 2 cups milk of choice
  • 2/3 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions:

Make your overnight oats the night before or at least 4 hours before preparing your banana pudding.

To make your overnight oats, combine the ingredients well, let sit for 5 minutes then give it another really good stir.

Cover and place in the refrigerator overnight or at least 4 hours until thickened.

Once ready to prepare:

In a high-speed blender add in the cottage cheese, protein powder, vanilla, 2 bananas (reserving one for topping), and maple syrup or raw honey to taste.

Blend until smooth.

To assemble your cups, add a base layer of overnight oats, then 2-3 spoonful’s of banana pudding and repeat evenly and equally for all 4 parfaits.

Top with remaining banana slices and enjoy!
