Ingredients

  • Rolled oats: ½ cup (old-fashioned oats work best)

  • Protein powder: 1 scoop (vanilla or whey/plant-based flavor of choice)

  • Milk: ½ cup (dairy or unsweetened almond/oat milk)

  • Greek yogurt: ¼ cup (plain or vanilla for extra creaminess and protein)

  • Chia seeds: 1 tablespoon (for texture and healthy fats)

  • Toppings: Fresh blueberries, raspberries, and a drizzle of honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mason jar or a medium glass container, add the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir briefly to evenly distribute the powder.

  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and Greek yogurt.

  3. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture vigorously with a spoon until completely combined. Ensure no dry protein powder pockets remain at the bottom of the container.

  4. Chill: Seal the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.

  5. Serve: In the morning, remove the lid and give the oats a quick stir. If the mixture is too thick, splash in an extra tablespoon of milk. Top with fresh blueberries and raspberries right before eating.

Tip: For optimal texture, consume within 3 to 4 days. If you prefer warm oats, simply microwave the chilled mixture for 45–60 seconds before adding your fresh fruit toppings.
