Ingredients

For the Base:

• 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• 1/2 cup milk of your choice (almond, oat, or dairy)

• 1/4 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (adds creaminess and extra protein!)

• 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)

For the Toppings (as seen in the photo!):

• Fresh raspberries and blueberries

• Sliced bananas

• Sliced almonds and pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

• A generous drizzle of peanut butter or almond butter

Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a mason jar or sealable container, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds. Give it a quick stir so the protein powder doesn't clump later.

2. Add the Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, and your sweetener of choice. Stir vigorously until everything is completely mixed and there are no dry pockets of oats or powder at the bottom.

3. Chill Overnight: Seal the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight. The oats and chia seeds will soak up the liquid, creating a thick, pudding-like consistency.

4. Top and Serve: In the morning, take your jar out of the fridge. If it's a little too thick, stir in an extra splash of milk. Layer on your fresh berries, sliced banana, nuts, seeds, and that all-important drizzle of nut butter. Enjoy!
