Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (whole, almond, oat, etc.)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir with a fork to mix evenly.
  2. Add the milk, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup to the jar.
  3. Seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. Alternatively, stir vigorously with a spoon until no dry pockets remain.
  4. Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight (8+ hours).
  5. The next morning, stir the oats well. Enjoy cold straight from the jar, adding your favorite toppings.

Notes

For a smoother, pudding-like texture, blend all ingredients before chilling. Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version. For dairy-free, use plant-based yogurt and milk. Add fresh toppings like berries, nuts, or nut butter just before serving to maintain texture.
