Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated carrot
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Tiny dash of ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Grate the carrot using the small holes of a box grater.
  2. In a 16-ounce jar or airtight container, combine the oats, protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Stir with a fork to break up any clumps.
  3. Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and grated carrot to the jar.
  4. Mix everything thoroughly until fully combined and no dry pockets remain.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.

Notes

For best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats, not quick oats. Add crunchy toppings like nuts just before serving. The mixture will thicken as it chills. For a thinner consistency, stir in a splash of milk before eating.
