Ingredients
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
1/2 cup milk (almond, oat, cashew, or dairy)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional add-ins: mashed banana, diced apple, cinnamon, nut butter, coconut, berries, maple syrup
Instructions
- In a mason jar or container, combine oats, milk, yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
- Stir well to ensure oats are fully submerged. Add a splash more milk if mixture is too thick.
- Mix in desired flavor add-ins such as banana, nut butter, or berries.
- Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, stir well. Add a splash of milk if needed and top with additional fruit or nut butter.
- Enjoy cold or microwave for 30–60 seconds if a warm breakfast is preferred.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture. Avoid steel-cut oats.
- Choose any protein powder—whey, pea, or plant-based all work well.
- Make it dairy-free by using plant-based milk and yogurt.
- Great for meal prep—store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for 1 month.
- Warm up in the microwave if desired. Stir and add milk before heating.
