Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 20-25g)
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- Fresh fruit or nuts (optional for topping)
Instructions
- In a mason jar or small bowl, combine the oats, chia seeds, and protein powder.
- Stir in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and peanut butter. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a teaspoon of maple syrup.
- Cover the jar or bowl and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and thicken.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir and top with fresh fruit or nuts if desired.
- Enjoy cold, or microwave for 30 seconds to take the chill off.
Notes
- You can easily swap the protein powder for any flavor you prefer (e.g., chocolate, peanut butter).
- For a nut-free option, replace the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or omit altogether.
- Add more liquid in the morning if you prefer a thinner consistency.
