Apple pie energy, but make it balanced. 🍎✨

Stewing the apples is the move. It softens the fruit, making it easier to digest while preserving those gentle prebiotic fibers that support gut health. Bonus: it gives that warm, dessert-like flavor without needing much added sugar.

Paired with oats for beta-glucan fiber and a solid protein boost, this combo actually keeps me full for hours — not just 9am.

This protein apple pie overnight oats has been my hyper-fixation breakfast for the past 3 weeks. I batch prep it ahead of time, and it’s ready to grab when mornings feel chaotic but I still want something satiating and intentional.

Serves 3 | Cook Time: 35 min

Ingredients

1½ cups rolled oats
3 apples, diced
3 scoops vanilla protein powder
Cinnamon, to taste
¼ cup water (for stewing apples)

Instructions

Add diced apples and ¼ cup water to a saucepan. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cook on low–medium heat for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and lightly caramelized.
Cook oats according to package directions (about 2–3 minutes if using quick oats).
Divide oats evenly into 3 containers. Stir 1 scoop protein powder into each portion while warm (add a splash of water or milk if needed to help it mix smoothly).
Top with stewed apples.
Refrigerate. Reheat when ready to eat, or enjoy chilled.
