Ever since I started the bean protocol last year, I began adding in more foods that I didn’t eat for years while following the paleo diet. And one of those foods is OATS!! My Peanut Butter Protein Oats are a weekly staple in our house and I’m always finding different ways to incorporate oats into my diet. Oats are a great source of soluble fiber plus they have a ton of different vitamins and minerals in them. Aaaaaand they don’t hurt my stomach. It’s a real win-win-win. So no, this recipe is not paleo, but it’s been working great for me so I don’t want you to miss out on any delicious recipe I make, paleo or not! It ruffles some people’s feathers when I share things that aren’t paleo, but no one got anywhere in life without upsetting a few people along the way.
Isn’t that funny to think that people get upset about recipes? The world is wild.
Speaking of wild, life has been extremely wild lately. Whatever is going on in the universe right now…the planets pulling at each other and the moon turning over a new chapter for many of us…life has had some huge ups and downs. Last week I watched my BFF walk down the aisle then we flew home early to support our friends at a funeral for their dad. Leading up to my BFF’s wedding, it was two extremely emotional weeks watching two of my friends lose their fathers, then the wedding was emotional because I love my BFF to depths of my soul, then home to a really tough situation. Life has been full of ups and downs, and it feels heavier than normal lately. But I feel like things are turning a corner, that light is at the end of the tunnel. And I say that because it’s been about 24 hours since I cried. I actually cried happy tears yesterday so things are really looking up.
As we all know, life is just hard sometimes. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t experience it, that doesn’t mean that the pain will stay with you forever, but the ups and downs are inevitable. But those painful moments teach you so much. They guide you into the next chapter, a better chapter. I know you’re thinking to yourself, “Who TF is this chick…I just wanted the recipe for overnight oats.” And that’s totally fair. I just wanted to send out a little reminder to anyone who needs it – things will get better. Feel all the feels, keep going, and know that your next chapter is going to be so much better than your last. And go eat some overnight oats while you wait it out.

Freaking delicious. I used 2% milk and regular cream cheese because it’s what I had on hand. I also left off the hemp hearts because I didn’t have any. Still turned out great. Going to be making this on repeat all summer long.
Holy, this is something! Made this the other night and my husband and I had for breakfast the next day and I felt so naughty eating it….it literally tasted like epic cheesecake, so, so good! Thank you for sharing!
This is delicious! I’ve tried a bunch of overnight oats recipes and this is the best one. I made with regular cream cheese. I’m going to try with blueberries next time.

Can you include the directions for the strawberries on instagram? Looks like you maybe just put some frozen strawberries in a pan and cooked them down?
SO freaking good! I couldn’t stop eating it and wanted more immediately! I added collagen protein to the liquid mix and omitted chia – but to make them more blood sugar friendly I think next time I would blend a soaked date instead of using maple syrup. I had a pretty decent blood sugar spike after eating this even with the added protein. I want to keep one of these in my fridge at all times, though, to have as a healthier dessert option when everyone else is eating cake or something!
So delicious!! I used regular dairy products and turned out great. I’m nervous to try the dairy free cream cheese haha. Do you by chance have the macros for this recipe?
I will admit…I was skeptical when I saw this. I’ve had some not-so-great overnight oats in the past, so I thought maybe it tasted “cheesecake-ish”.
It blew my mind from the first bite. This recipe is AMAZING. Literally tastes like strawberry cheesecake. I just finished eating it and already want more. I couldn’t find GF Graham crackers near me in time, but I will be getting some state because I know it will only make it more amazing.
I made this for breakfast today and it was so yummy! I used almond milk and regular cream cheese. I also used Simple Mills honey thins and it was great 🙂 will be making again!
