Ingredients
- ⅓ cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (use more if you prefer thinner consistency)
- ½ cup nonfat Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (about 25g protein per scoop)
- ½ cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, such as blueberries or raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
Instructions
- In a jar or bowl, combine oats, chia seeds, and protein powder. Add a splash of almond milk and stir to mix the protein powder evenly into the oats.
- Add the peanut butter and stir to incorporate. Pour in the remaining almond milk and Greek yogurt, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Top the mixture with your choice of berries. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for up to 5 days for a grab-and-go breakfast.
- Before eating, drizzle with maple syrup if desired and stir gently to combine flavors. Enjoy chilled.
Pro tip: For best texture, stir the oats mixture once halfway through the soaking time to evenly distribute the ingredients.
