Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned)
3/4 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, or soy)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 scoop protein powder (whey or plant-based, ~20–25g protein)
1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
Pinch of salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: fresh fruit, nut butter, nuts/seeds, cinnamon
Instructions
1. In a jar, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and protein powder. Stir dry ingredients evenly.
2. Add milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, and sweetener if using. Stir vigorously to blend until smooth.
3. Adjust texture: add 1–2 tbsp milk if too thick, or a bit of oats if too thin. Stir and press down.
4. Seal and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set and thicken.
5. Top with fresh fruits, nut butter, or crunchy seeds just before eating. Enjoy cold or warm slightly.
Notes
Use Greek yogurt and protein powder to hit the 20–30g protein target.
For vegan: swap with soy milk, soy yogurt, and plant protein powder.
Add toppings like fresh berries, banana slices, or cinnamon before serving.
Do not add crunchy toppings (nuts or cereal) until ready to eat to preserve texture.
