Apple Cinnamon Protein Overnight Oats (40g Protein, 8g Fiber)
September mornings always feel like a fresh start. The air is a little cooler, schedules are shifting, and it is the perfect time to reset your breakfast routine. If you want something quick, satisfying, and packed with protein, these Apple Cinnamon Protein Overnight Oats are exactly what you need.
This recipe is creamy, cozy, and tastes like apple pie in a jar. The best part? It has 40 grams of protein to keep you full for hours. I use Equip Foods Prime Protein in vanilla flavor, which blends in beautifully without any chalky taste. Combined with Greek yogurt and hearty oats, you get a balanced breakfast that feels indulgent but supports your goals.

A lot of women in midlife fear carbs, but here is the truth. When you pair quality carbs with protein and fiber, they become the best kind of fuel. These oats give you long-lasting energy instead of the crash you get from sugary snacks.
I use this recipe often on my pickleball mornings when I am on the court for 2–3 hours. It keeps me energized, steady, and focused without feeling weighed down. This is exactly why carbs are not the enemy. They are the fuel your body needs to perform and feel its best.
Tip: Prep a few jars on Sunday night so you have breakfast ready for several days. Your future self will thank you.
