- Measuring cups
- Measuring spoons
- 2 jars or airtight containers
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup berries, for topping
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter, optional for serving
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Stir very well until everything is evenly mixed and the protein powder is fully combined.
- Divide the mixture between 2 jars or airtight containers.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the oats are soft and thick.
- Stir before serving, then top with berries and peanut butter if using.
Notes
- Rolled oats work best for overnight oats because they soften well without becoming too mushy.
- Stir the mixture really well so the protein powder blends in smoothly.
- If the oats feel too thick in the morning, stir in a small splash of milk.
- Add fresh toppings right before serving for the best texture.
