Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 scoop protein powder (approximately 30g)
- 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional for additional sweetness)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a container, mix the old-fashioned rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of all dry components.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, non-fat Greek yogurt, and optional maple syrup or honey. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and the oats are fully moistened.
- Chill Overnight: Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften, resulting in a creamy texture.
- Customize: Before serving, add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds to enhance the flavor and texture of your overnight oats.
Notes
- Use any type of milk according to dietary preference (dairy or plant-based).
- Adjust sweetness level by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey.
- For thicker oats, reduce the milk slightly or add more chia seeds.
- Mix well to prevent clumping of protein powder.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
