Ingredients
Base Ingredients
Rolled oats – ½ cup
Protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, or preferred flavor) – 1 scoop (20-25g)
Milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond, oat, or soy milk) – 1 cup
Greek yogurt – ¼ cup
Chia seeds – 1 tablespoon
Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia) – 1-2 teaspoons
Toppings and Add-Ins (Optional)
Fresh or frozen fruit – ½ cup
Nut butters – 1 tablespoon
Granola – 1 tablespoon
Dark chocolate chips – 1 teaspoon
Cinnamon or vanilla extract – ½ teaspoon
Nuts and seeds – 1 tablespoon
Instructions
In a mason jar or airtight container, combine rolled oats, protein powder, milk, Greek yogurt, and chia seeds. Stir well to ensure the protein powder is evenly mixed
Stir in honey or maple syrup if using. Add cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor
Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6-8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid
In the morning, stir the oats well. If the texture is too thick, add a splash of milk. Top with fruit, nut butter, granola, or any of your favorite add-ins before enjoying
Notes
This recipe can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it perfect for meal prep
For a thicker consistency, reduce the milk slightly or add more chia seeds
For a thinner consistency, stir in more milk before serving
If you don’t have protein powder, substitute it with an additional ¼ cup of Greek yogurt for natural protein
For a vegan version, use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free yogurt
