These maca protein overnight chia oats are a simple, nourishing breakfast for warm mornings when you want something cool, creamy, and ready to go. Made with rolled oats, chia seeds, protein, and a spoonful of maca, they’re easy to prepare ahead and gentle on busy mornings.

I love using maca in this recipe for its grounding, nourishing quality. Stirred through overnight oats, it becomes part of a steady morning ritual - one that supports feeling fed and supported as the day begins, without feeling heavy or complicated.

With added protein for fullness and staying power, this overnight chia oats recipe works beautifully for real life. It’s a breakfast you can prepare the night before and return to again and again - especially when you want to care for yourself simply and start the day well.
