Ingredients

•1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
•1 scoop (about 30g) protein powder, any flavor
•3/4 cup milk of choice
•1/4 cup Greek yogurt
•1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
•1/2 tsp vanilla extract
•Toppings: berries, sliced banana, or peanut butter

Instructions

1.Add the oats, protein powder, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and vanilla to a jar or container.
2.Stir well, making sure there are no dry pockets of protein powder at the bottom.
3.Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
4.Stir again before eating — add a splash more milk if it's thicker than you like.
5.Top with fruit or nut butter right before serving.

Tip

Stir hard and stir twice — once right after mixing and once the next morning. Protein powder settles and clumps at the bottom of the jar if you skip the second stir.
