Ingredients
1/2 cup dry oats (old-fashioned rolled oats recommended)
1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
1 1/2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp Greek yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a jar or bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Add the Greek yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla extract.
Stir well until everything is fully combined and the protein powder is evenly mixed.
Cover the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid.
Stir before serving and add extra milk if you prefer a thinner texture.
Serve chilled and top with fruit, nuts, or granola if desired.
Notes
For extra protein, add an additional spoon of Greek yogurt.
Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup.
If the oats become too thick in the morning, stir in a splash of milk.
Great toppings include berries, banana slices, almond butter, or granola.
