Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup milk of choice
- 1 scoop (30 g) vanilla whey protein powder
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
- 1 cup berries, for serving
Before you start
- Use rolled oats, not steel-cut oats, for the stated texture and soak time. A plant yogurt and plant protein powder work, but their protein total and thickness vary by brand; add 1 to 2 tbsp milk if the mixture is too thick.
- Contains milk when made with Greek yogurt, dairy milk, and whey. Choose a protein powder whose label suits your allergen needs.
Instructions
- Whisk yogurt, milk, protein powder, chia, and maple syrup in a bowl until the powder is fully dissolved. Stir in oats.
- Divide between two jars, cover, and refrigerate at least 8 hours. The oats should be tender and the chia should thicken the liquid.
- Stir each jar before eating. If needed, loosen with a splash of milk and top with berries.
Meal prep, storage, and reheating
Prepare up to 3 days ahead and keep covered in the refrigerator. Add berries just before serving to avoid watery oats. This recipe is intended to be eaten chilled; no reheating is needed.
