Oats plump up when left in liquid for a few hours, which makes them super-creamy and filling. They're a great source of complex carbohydrates and fiber, and provide a slow release of energy and increased satiety (fullness) due to their beta-glucan content. They're also incredibly low in sugar – great for when you're trying to slim down.
Why add protein powder to overnight oats?
Adding protein powder to your overnight oats is a great way to increase your satiety and keep you full until lunch time, as dietary protein stimulates the release of a number of satiety hormones. Also, if you're looking to maintain and/or gain muscle mass, you need to consume enough protein every day to support muscle growth.
