Description
A nutritious and filling breakfast option with high protein content, perfect for busy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup milk (regular, almond, oat, soy, etc.)
- 1 scoop protein powder (around 30g)
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (or vegan yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or stevia)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Start with the Dry: Grab a jar or container with a lid. Toss in ½ cup oats, 1 scoop protein powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of cinnamon if you’re into it. Stir it quick so everything mixes up nice.
- Add the Wet Stuff: Pour in ½ cup milk, add ¼ cup Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese or vegan yogurt), and mix in 1-2 teaspoons sweetener and ½ teaspoon vanilla if you want.
- Stir It Like Crazy: Get in there with a spoon and mix it all up! Make sure the oats are fully soaked—no dry patches hiding at the bottom.
- Pop It in the Fridge: Snap the lid on tight and stick it in the fridge. Let it hang out for at least 4 hours, but overnight’s the best (8+ hours).
- Top It in the Morning: Open it up, give it a stir, and add a splash of milk if it’s super thick. Then go wild with toppings—berries, nuts, whatever you’re feeling!
