Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 to 1½ cups (8 to 12 fl oz / 240–360 ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, cow’s, or soy milk)
  • 2 scoops (about 30g) protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds (optional but recommended)
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (can substitute with coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave, adjust to taste)
  • Optional mix-ins and toppings: fresh berries, banana (mashed or sliced), nut butters (almond, peanut), cinnamon or vanilla extract, unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans)

Instructions

  1. Combine 1 cup rolled oats with 2 scoops of protein powder in a mixing bowl or large cup to ensure even distribution.
  2. Stir in 1 tablespoon chia seeds and 1-2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener.
  3. Pour in 1 to 1½ cups of milk of choice, adjusting amount for desired thickness.
  4. Whisk or stir vigorously to dissolve protein powder and combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Fold in ½ cup Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.
  6. Transfer the mixture into individual mason jars or airtight containers.
  7. Add optional toppings or mix-ins such as sliced bananas, berries, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  8. Seal jars tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  9. In the morning, stir the oats and enjoy chilled or warm gently in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if preferred.

Notes

Mix protein powder with milk first to avoid clumps. Adjust liquid ratio for preferred thickness. Do not soak oats longer than 12 hours to avoid mushiness. Store leftovers in fridge up to 3 days and stir in milk before eating if thickened. Freezing not recommended due to texture changes.
