Let’s be real — breakfast shouldn’t be a battle. You want to eat good, feel full, hit your macros, and not spend all morning cooking. That’s where these overnight oats come in.
We prep ours every Sunday like clockwork. Simple, reliable, macro-friendly. Here’s how we do it and how you can too.
🍓 The AMAYSN Overnight Oats Game Plan
Every Sunday, we line up our overnight oat jars (grab these — they’re the perfect size) and prep all the dry ingredients in advance.
That means:
- 40g Quaker Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- Dash of cinnamon
- ¼ tsp sea salt (yes, salt — trust)
- Chia seeds for fiber, omega-3s, and thickness
We leave them dry and sealed until the night before we eat them.
🥛 Night Before = Magic Time
Each night, we mix up one jar with the wet ingredients, so they’re fresh and perfectly textured the next morning:
- 1 scoop protein powder:
Choose JYM Protein for flavor and muscle support
Or go with Optimum Nutrition for a high quality but budget-friendly option - 8 oz Horizon Organic 2% Milk with DHA
- 170g Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Stir it all up, seal it, and let the fridge do its thing overnight.
⚖️ How to Use a Food Scale Like a Pro
If you're using our go-to digital kitchen scale, here’s how to make life easy:
- Turn on the scale and place your oat jar (or bowl) on it.
- Press the TARE button — this resets the scale to zero with the container on it.
- Add your oats until the display reads 40g.
- Hit TARE again before each new ingredient so it resets to zero before you add chia, yogurt, etc.
- If your scale allows, switch between grams, milliliters, and fluid ounces, lbs and oz using the “UNIT” button — helpful for things like milk.
This method keeps your prep precise, tidy, and mess-free. If your scale looks slightly different, check your manual or search your model number online — most work similarly.
📊 Let’s Talk Macros
Here’s the macro breakdown using the Optimum Nutrition protein:
- Calories: ~548
- Protein: 40g
- Carbs: 45g
- Fat: 17g
Using JYM Protein bumps flavor and might shift macros slightly (+2–3g fat, depending on the scoop).
