Instructions

1

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a jar or container with a lid, add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and protein powder. Stir briefly to mix them together.

2

Add Wet Ingredients

Pour in the almond milk and add the Greek yogurt and honey. Stir vigorously until the protein powder is fully dissolved and no clumps remain.

3

Add Peanut Butter

Drop the peanut butter on top and gently swirl it into the mixture without fully combining to create pockets of flavor.

4

Refrigerate Overnight

Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the liquid fully.

5

Top and Serve

In the morning, remove from the fridge and stir gently. Add a splash more almond milk if needed to loosen the texture. Top with sliced banana or fresh berries and serve cold.

Substitutions

Common mistakes

Adding toppings the night before makes them soggy by morning
Using instant oats instead of rolled oats creates a mushy and unpleasant texture
