Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats do not use instant oats
- 1 scoop protein powder approx. 30g, vanilla or unflavored recommended
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy both work

Instructions
- Add the old-fashioned rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds to a mason jar or airtight container. Give them a quick stir to distribute evenly.
- Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup or honey if using. Mix everything well, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the jar to break up any clumps of protein powder.
- Seal the jar with a lid and place it in the fridge. Let it sit for at least 5 hours, or overnight for best results.
- In the morning, remove from the fridge and give it a good stir. Add a splash of milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
Notes
Meal prep tip: Make 4-5 jars on Sunday and store in the fridge for up to 5 days. Always add toppings like granola and fresh fruit just before eating to preserve texture. For a dairy-free version, swap milk for oat or coconut milk and use dairy-free yogurt.
