Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old fashioned oats)
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla or chocolate whey or plant-based protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients Find a glass jar or a sealable container. Add the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt into the jar. Use a spoon to whisk the dry ingredients together until the protein powder is evenly distributed. This prevents the powder from clumping once you add the liquid.
- Step 2: Incorporate Wet Ingredients Pour in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, and your choice of sweetener. Add the tablespoon of peanut butter into the mix. Stir vigorously until everything is well-combined and no dry pockets of protein powder remain. The mixture should look slightly liquidy, as the oats and chia seeds will soak up the moisture overnight.
- Step 3: Chill and Set Seal the lid tightly on your container. Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though leaving it overnight is best for the creamiest texture. In the morning, give the oats a quick stir. If the mixture is too thick, splash in a little extra milk. Top with extra peanut butter or fresh fruit and enjoy cold.
