These strawberry cheesecake oats are perfect for strawberry season, but you can enjoy all year round! They are packed with protein (about 20g per serving), and perfect for meal prepping.
Overnight oats are great for meal prepping. Spend some time in the evening making them, and it saves you loads of time in the morning. Starting your day with a protein packed meal, starts your day on the right track. I find most people don’t get enough protein in the morning, and tend to consume majority of their protein at dinner. Our bodies use protein more efficiently if it’s provided throughout the day, and in more equal quantities.
If you want to learn more about protein- how much protein you need, and good sources of plant-based proteins – check out my post here.
