Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or flavor of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh fruit (e.g., berries, banana slices)
  • Nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
  • Nuts and seeds (e.g., almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds)
  • Granola

Instructions

  • In a mason jar or airtight container, combine the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract.
  • Mix thoroughly until the protein powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  • Seal the container and refrigerate overnight (or at least 6 hours).
  • In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if needed for a creamier consistency.
  • Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a thicker consistency, reduce the milk slightly or add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds.
  • If you’re in a hurry, you can prepare this recipe with instant oats, but the texture will be softer.
  • Feel free to swap the protein powder flavor to complement your desired taste (e.g., chocolate or peanut butter).
