Happy hump day! Start your mornings on the right foot so you can finish the week strong with these Blueberry Coconut Protein Overnight Oats. They’re a great way to use up some of those end of summer blueberries. Plus they have 18 grams of protein per serving, a dose of healthy fat from the coconut, and heart-healthy whole grains, so you’ll be ready to kick your day in the butt.
I love how well coconut goes with so many other flavors. It’s like the ultimate complementer…except maybe vanilla, which goes with even more flavors. Mango + coconut? Amazing. Chocolate + coconut? Awesome. Savory spices + coconut? Perfection. But if the blueberry + coconut combo doesn’t float your boat, check out some other yummy (and high protein) overnight oats combos.
Enjoy!
