Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey, plant-based, or your preference)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

1 tablespoon nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for extra protein and creaminess)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Fresh fruit for topping (berries, banana slices, or diced apples)

Nuts or seeds for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and protein powder. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, nut butter, honey or maple syrup (if using), vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Make sure the mixture is smooth and well combined.

      Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until all the oats are thoroughly coated and there are no dry spots.

        Divide the mixture evenly into two or more jars or airtight containers.

          Seal the containers and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld.

            In the morning, stir the oats well. If they are too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.

              Top your oats with fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds as desired. Enjoy cold or heat them up in the microwave for a warm breakfast option!
