Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup oats (quick, minute or rolled)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tbsp plain 2% Greek yogurt
- ½ cup milk (any type)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mason jar or small bowl with a lid (10 oz size), add the oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, and cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to distribute the flavors evenly.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the jar with the dry mix. Stir or whisk well until all ingredients are fully combined and smooth.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl with its lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, though overnight is best. This resting time allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve: Once set, remove from the fridge and add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds. Enjoy your high-protein, ready-to-eat breakfast!
