Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop protein powder of choice
- ⅓ cup almond milk
- ⅓ cup oats
- 2 tsp chia seeds
- ¼ tsp sea salt
Flavor Variations
- ⅛ tsp almond extract (substitute vanilla extract)
- ⅓ cup frozen berries
- 3 Tbsp strawberry jam
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter
- ½ banana, sliced
- 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 2 Tbsp mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix base ingredients: In a single-serve jar, combine the Greek yogurt and protein powder. Stir well to break down any clumps until smooth, then add almond milk and mix again thoroughly.
- Add dry ingredients: Add oats, chia seeds, and sea salt to the jar. Stir to ensure the oats are evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
- Prepare triple berry oats: Gently swirl the almond extract into the base oat mixture, cover with a lid, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Once set, stir in the frozen berries and enjoy.
- Prepare peanut butter, banana, and jelly oats: Swirl 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter into the base oats, cover with a lid, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. Once set, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam and 1 tablespoon peanut butter. Top with banana slices before serving.
- Prepare double chocolate oats: Stir cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips into the base oats mixture, cover with a lid, and refrigerate overnight or for at least 3 hours. After setting, stir in the remaining mini chocolate chips and enjoy.
Notes
- Use any protein powder of your choice, such as whey, plant-based, or collagen peptides.
- For homemade strawberry jam, cook fresh strawberries with sugar and lemon juice until thickened.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less jam or cocoa powder as preferred.
- Feel free to swap almond milk for any other milk or milk alternative.
- Overnight oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days for optimal freshness.
