Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk Any milk can be substituted.
  • ½ cup Greek Yogurt For a vegan option, use dairy-free yogurt.
  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats Avoid quick oats for the best results.
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder Choose vanilla or unflavored based on your preference.
  • ½ tablespoon Chia Seeds Helps thicken the mixture.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Can be omitted for other taste profiles.
Flavor Variations
  • ½ banana Banana Bread Flavor Mash and add 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
  • ¼ cup Pumpkin Puree Mix in for a seasonal treat.
  • ¼-⅓ cup Diced Apple Cubes For an apple pie flavor.
  • 1-2 tablespoons Peanut Butter Blend in for a childhood favorite.

Equipment

  • Mason jar or sealable container

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a mason jar or a sealable container, combine 1 cup of old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup of Greek yogurt, 1 scoop of protein powder, and ½ tablespoon of chia seeds. Stir the mixture thoroughly, ensuring that the oats are fully soaked in the liquid. This step should take about 2 minutes.
  2. Once your base is well mixed, add your selected flavor ingredients. For Banana Bread, mash in a ripe banana and mix in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. For Pumpkin Spice Latte, blend in ¼ cup of pumpkin puree and 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup. This will take another 2-3 minutes.
  3. Cover the jar or container tightly with a lid and place it in the refrigerator to chill overnight, or for at least 6 hours.
  4. When you're ready to indulge, remove the jar from the refrigerator, stir well, adding a splash of almond milk if it has thickened too much. Top with additional fruits, nuts, or sweeteners before enjoying chilled.
