These Blueberry Protein Overnight Oats bring over 32 grams of protein per serving and delicious blueberry flavors for an amazing high-protein breakfast.
I love making simple, healthy breakfasts that are rich in protein, like my Protein Overnight Oats or Chocolate Protein Overnight Oats. They are such an easy way of taking a lot of protein after a workout while enjoying all the flavors of blueberries.
It’s also a recipe that is very easy to make in large batches, so I use it to meal prep a whole week of breakfasts to not waste a minute in my busy weekly schedule! All you need to do is grab a jar from the fridge to get a delicious breakfast in a minute!
The taste and texture are perfect and it’s a recipe that can be tuned to any flavor you like! Just swap the blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries and you have a different breakfast every single week!
Ingredients and Substitutions
- Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats – Rolled oats work best for overnight oats. Quick oats are fine, but don’t bring the same perfect texture. Steel-cut oats only work with a made-for recipe, like my Overnight Steel Cut Oats. Feel free to use gluten-free oats.
- Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are the binding agent in overnight oats. However, the recipe still works without, it’s just a bit less sticky.
- Soy Milk – Any plant-based milk work, but soy milk has the greatest protein content of all, including cow milk.
- Yogurt – Any yogurt works, but my preference is for coconut or cashew yogurt.
- Vanilla Protein Powder – This recipe works best with pea protein powder and almond protein powder. I like to use a vanilla flavor, it marries perfectly with blueberries.
- Maple Syrup – Any liquid sweetener works, so you can use agave syrup, coconut nectar, or brown rice syrup.
- Lemon Juice – You can use either fresh or bottled lemon juice. If you don’t have any, lime juice can also be used.
- Blueberries – Fresh or frozen, both work for the blueberry milk.
Toppings
- Coconut Yogurt – Or any yogurt you like.
- Shredded Coconut – Or chopped peanuts.
- Blueberries – I prefer fresh blueberries for the decoration.
How to Make Blueberry Protein Overnight Oats
These overnight oats are made like the classic overnight oats recipe, but the ratios are slightly different because of the protein powder.
Divide the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds in three jars.
Combine the soy milk, blueberries, yogurt, lemon juice, and maple syrup in a blender.
Pour the blueberry milk on top of the oat mixture and stir well.
Top the overnight oats with yogurt and fresh blueberries. Keep it in the fridge for at least 6 hours.
Meal Prep Tips
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to make breakfast for the whole family.
- Make enough for the week, as overnight oats stay good in the fridge for up to five or six days. Fresh blueberries on top stay fresh for 3-4 days, so you might have to replace them.
- This recipe can be frozen and thawed overnight.
Expert Tips
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick oats, which make the mixture soggy, or steel-cut oats, which remain too hard when soaked. If you prefer steel-cut oats, try my steel-cut overnight oats recipe for them.
- If you like warm oats, you can heat up your overnight oats in the microwave for 30 seconds as long as it is in a microwave-safe jar.
- Chill the oats for at least six hours. While four or five hours can work soak for six hours is the minimum to allow the flavors to blend.
- When adding fruits, nuts, or syrups, layer them instead of mixing. This helps maintain the texture until you’re ready to eat.

Is it possible to make this without protein powder? I realize that will lower the protein amount. I’m just not fond of protein powder. 🙂
Yes, you can make my Blueberry Overnight Oats!
