Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (GF if necessary)
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla or chocolate whey/casein protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon natural creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- In a mason jar or a small resealable container, add the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir these dry components together with a spoon until the protein powder is evenly distributed. This prevents clumping once you add the liquids.
- Pour in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, and your choice of sweetener. Add the tablespoon of peanut butter into the center. Use a whisk or a fork to stir vigorously, ensuring you scrape the bottom corners of the jar. The mixture should look slightly liquidy, as the oats and chia seeds will absorb the moisture overnight.
- Seal the lid tightly and place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though overnight is best for the creamiest texture. Before serving, give the oats a quick stir. If the mixture is too thick, splash in a little extra milk to reach your desired consistency. Top with extra peanut butter or chocolate chips if you want that true dessert experience.
