Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional)
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and protein powder until well combined.
Add the chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Divide the mixture evenly between two mason jars or airtight containers.
Seal the containers with lids and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours, to allow the oats to soak and soften.
In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. If desired, top with fresh berries and chopped nuts before serving.
Enjoy your high-protein breakfast straight from the jar, or transfer to a bowl if preferred.
