    Protein Notes:

    I use Naked Nutrition Naked Whey Iso for the yogurt layer. It mixes smoothly, keeps the flavor clean and adds high quality protein without fillers, gums or artificial sweeteners. It’s made with minimal ingredients and works really well in overnight oats because it blends easily without getting gritty or chalky.

    • Oats provide beta-glucan fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria.

    • Greek yogurt adds protein and live cultures for gut support.
    • Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that supports digestion.
