One serving of oats (whether you choose these sprouted rolled oats or Trader Joe's rolled oats) offers six grams of protein. Protein helps with weight loss by making you feel more satiated, and it also takes longer to digest, which helps regulate your appetite.
When soaking your oats overnight, you can increase the protein by swapping low-protein almond milk for higher-protein unsweetened soy milk, Silk Protein milk, or Ripple. Rios also said she's a fan of adding nut butters like peanut, almond, or cashew, and seeds like pumpkin, sunflower, flax, chia, and hemp. You may also like adding in a spoonful of plant-based protein powder — try these mint chocolate chip overnight oats.
