- ½ cup milk, any type (I use almond or oat milk)
- ¼ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (can use dairy-free yogurt to keep this recipe vegan)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or other sweetener of your choice (optional)
- ½ cup old fashioned oats (use certified gluten-free oats to keep recipe gluten free)
- ½ tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
Optional toppings:
- fresh berries, peanut butter, almond butter, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, sunflower seeds, coconut flakes
Stir the milk, yogurt, vanilla, and maple syrup together in a small container like a mason jar or Tupperware.
Add the oats, chia seeds, and protein powder. Stir until well combined and protein powder is dissolved.
Cover container with a lid and place in the refrigerator overnight (or at least 4 hours).
Before eating, stir the mixture. If needed, add a splash of milk to loosen it up. Then, add your favorite toppings and enjoy! See Notes section below for flavor variations.
Flavor Variations:
-
- Vanilla Berry- oats with vanilla protein powder, topped with fresh berries
- Banana Peanut Butter- oats with vanilla protein powder and a tablespoon of peanut butter (or almond butter) stirred in, topped with sliced bananas and a drizzle of peanut butter
- Almond Joy- oats with chocolate protein powder, topped with coconut flakes and sliced almonds
- Chocolate Peanut Butter- oats with chocolate protein powder and a tablespoon of peanut butter stirred in, topped with a drizzle of peanut butter and chopped peanuts

Chef's Tips:
-
- Stir well to dissolve the protein powder so that there are no clumps.
-
- In the morning, give the oats a nice stir, and then add some milk as needed to loosen it up before adding your toppings.
-
- Don't go overboard with the toppings- they can add a lot of additional sugar and calories depending on what you use.
