Ingredients
Scale
- 0.5 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 0.5 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 0.75 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup fresh berries
- 0.5 tablespoon almond butter
- Granola or chopped nuts
- Sprinkle of seeds
Instructions
- Combine the old fashioned rolled oats, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a jar. Stir everything well to make sure the oats are fully coated with the liquid.
- If you chose to add protein powder, this is the time to do it. Whisk it in until everything is smooth and well mixed.
- Now, if you’re using yogurt, Skyr, or cottage cheese, stir them in after you’ve mixed the base.
- Feel free to mix in any flavor add-ins like cocoa powder, additional fruit, or nut butter to customize your oats to your liking.
- Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate overnight, or at least for 2-3 hours to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- In the morning, take the jar out of the fridge, give it a good stir, and adjust the consistency with a bit more almond milk if needed. Finally, top it with your favorite toppings!
