Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir them together well.
- Add the peanut butter, almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (if using), and salt to the container.
- Stir all ingredients thoroughly until the peanut butter is mostly incorporated and no dry clumps remain.
- Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, stir in a splash more milk. Eat cold directly from the container.
