Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a 16-ounce jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt. Stir with a spoon to distribute evenly.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the jar.
  3. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. Alternatively, stir very well until no dry pockets remain.
  4. Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the oats to soften and the mixture to thicken.
  5. Before eating, stir the oats well. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with your favorite additions like fresh fruit, nut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

Do not use quick or instant oats as they become too mushy. For best results, use old-fashioned rolled oats. Add fresh toppings right before serving to maintain texture. The oats will keep in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
