Intro
Mornings move fast. Coffee, emails, errands—before you know it, it’s 11 a.m. and you realize you haven’t eaten. The trick? Have breakfast waiting for you. These make-ahead, high-protein recipes are quick to prep, keep well in the fridge, and taste so good you’ll actually look forward to mornings.
Ingredient Quality Matters: Choose organic when you can, especially for oats and berries. Read your labels—good almond milk should just be almonds and water, not a chemistry experiment. Skip products with added oils, gums, or stabilizers. Clean ingredients = better health, better taste.
Chocolate Almond Overnight Oats
Creamy, chocolatey, and filling—like dessert for breakfast (but way better for you).
Ingredients (1 serving):
- ½ cup rolled oats (not quick oats)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you like)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat = creamier)
- 1 Tbsp almond butter
- 1 tsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
Directions:
- Stir oats, milk, yogurt, almond butter, cocoa, chia, vanilla, and sweetener (if using) in a jar.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 6 hours).
- In the morning, stir and top with berries, almonds, or cacao nibs.
Storage: Keeps 3–4 days in the fridge.
Berry Chia Pudding with Collagen
Thick, creamy, and just sweet enough. Think pudding—but one that actually fuels you.
Ingredients (1 serving):
- 3 Tbsp chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk for creamier texture)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 scoop collagen peptides (optional, unflavored)
- ½ cup fresh or frozen berries
- Optional: ½ tsp cinnamon or 1 tsp maple syrup if you like it sweeter
Directions:
- Stir chia seeds, milk, vanilla, and collagen in a jar.
- Wait 5 minutes, stir again (important so it doesn’t clump).
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Top with berries and cinnamon before serving.
Storage: Lasts up to 4 days in the fridge.
Green Protein Smoothie Bowl
Bright, fresh, and thick enough for a spoon. A smoothie that feels like a meal.
Ingredients (1 serving):
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup baby spinach (loosely packed)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (add more if needed to blend)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (plant or whey)
- 1 Tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1 Tbsp almond butter
- Toppings: sliced fruit, granola, pumpkin seeds, shredded coconut
Directions:
- Blend banana, spinach, milk, protein powder, flax, and almond butter until creamy and thick.
- Pour into a bowl.
- Add your favorite toppings.
Storage/Prep Tip: Freeze smoothie packs (banana + spinach + flax in bags). In the morning, blend with milk + protein powder for a 2-minute meal.
