Pineapple coconut overnight oats are delicious, tropical, vegan, and gluten free. Boost it with collagen or protein powder!
Overnight oats are everywhere these days, and for good reason! Not only are oats incredibly nutritious, they’re also easy to make. We love how versatile they are; almost any flavor and topping combination will taste great. Oats are a blank slate!
And our favorite part about overnight oats? They make great meal prep ideas! Overnight oats are delicious, healthy, and satisfying, and if you spend just a few precious minutes prepping on Sunday evening- they’ll be ready for you all week!
We wanted this breakfast meal prep idea to be a bit of a break from the norm. The usual suspects make their appearance of course, because who doesn’t love a splash of omega-rich chia seeds? Each serving of these overnight oats is a quick trip to the tropics with a blast of sweet and tangy pineapple and delicious coconut shavings.
And in case you need a little extra nutritional boost, our recipe makes room for a scoop of your favorite protein or collagen powder. Each serving of oats contains 13 grams of protein on its own though, so any powder or nut butter you add is making that number that much more plump!

Once digested, this fiber helps you to stay fuller longer, supports healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and feeds good gut bacteria.
Overnight oats are mercifully easy to pull off. Because that's what you need to the night before, right? Just a little kitchen puttering and then pop it in the fridge. Combine the ALL of the ingredients (except the optional granola) in a bowl and then divide between two glass jars with an airtight lid. Stick them in the fridge for a few hours and up to overnight is optimal.
Since the storing is part of the prepping, there's not much to do here. Eat it right out of the jar! Add some granola on top! Top with more shredded coconut and some granola, for some crunchy contrast. We don't recommend freezing this, though! Just a heads up! Keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days.
