Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (GF if needed)
- 1 scoop vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or stevia (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (for extra fiber and thickness)
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine the Dry Ingredients
Find a glass mason jar or a sealable container. Add the rolled oats, protein powder, ground cinnamon, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir these dry components together with a spoon or shake the closed jar to ensure the protein powder is evenly distributed. This prevents clumps once you add the liquid. - Step 2: Incorporate the Wet Ingredients
Pour in the unsweetened almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and your sweetener of choice. Use a spoon to stir the mixture thoroughly, scraping the bottom of the jar to make sure no dry oats remain. The mixture should look slightly liquidy, as the oats and chia seeds will absorb the moisture overnight. - Step 3: Chill and Set
Seal the lid tightly and place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though 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 an extra dash of cinnamon or a dollop of yogurt “frosting” and enjoy cold.
