Description
A customizable, high-protein breakfast option that can be prepared in advance, keeping you full until lunch.
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- ½ tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Flavor add-ins (choose one):
- Banana-cinnamon: ½ spotty banana, mashed; 1 tsp cinnamon.
- Pumpkin spice: ¼ cup pumpkin puree; 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey; ¾ tsp pumpkin pie spice.
- Apple-cinnamon: ¼–⅓ cup apple, small cubes; 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey; 1 tsp cinnamon.
- Peanut butter & strawberry: 1–2 tbsp peanut butter; ¼ cup fresh strawberries, diced.
- Peach-coconut: ¼ of a peach, diced; 1–2 tbsp shredded coconut.
Instructions
- In a sealable mason jar or small container, add the base ingredients: almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, oats, chia seeds, and vanilla extract.
- Stir well so the protein powder dissolves and all oats are submerged. Add a little extra almond milk if the mixture looks too thick.
- Pick the flavor you want and add the corresponding mix-ins. Stir to combine.
- Place the lid on the jar or container to seal it tightly.
- Set the jar in the refrigerator to soak overnight or for at least 6 hours.
- When ready to serve, give the oats a good stir and add additional almond milk if desired. Top with fresh fruit or nuts if desired.
Notes
For a vegan option, swap Greek yogurt for unsweetened dairy-free yogurt and use plant-based protein powder. Adjust sweetness to taste using maple syrup or honey.
