Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 scoop protein powder (approximately 30g)
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional for additional sweetness)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a container, mix together the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, non-fat Greek yogurt, and maple syrup or honey if using. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture begins to thicken.
- Chill Overnight: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, resulting in a creamy consistency.
- Customize Before Serving: Before eating, add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds to enhance the flavor and texture as desired.
Notes
- Use any type of milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, or dairy milk, depending on dietary needs.
- For vegan options, choose plant-based protein powder and skip honey, using maple syrup only.
- Adjust sweetness with more or less syrup or honey based on taste.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for convenience.
- Adding toppings just before serving keeps them fresh and crunchy.
