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 tablespoon pure 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, and chia seeds. Stir with a fork to mix.
  2. Add the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the jar.
  3. Seal the jar tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds, or stir very well until no dry pockets remain.
  4. Place the sealed jar in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to allow the mixture to thicken.
  5. Before serving, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk to reach desired consistency. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy cold.

Notes

For a smoother texture, blend the soaked mixture in the morning. Store in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Add fresh fruit and crunchy toppings just before serving for best texture.
