Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ¼ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • ½ tbsp chia seeds
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ spotty banana (mashed)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
Optional Ingredients
  • ¼ cup pumpkin puree optional
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or honey adjust sweetness to taste
  • ¾ tsp pumpkin pie spice optional
  • ¼-⅓ cup apple (small cubes) optional
  • 1-2 tbsp peanut butter optional
  • ¼ cup fresh strawberries (diced) optional
  • 1-2 tbsp shredded coconut optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a sealable mason jar or small container, add the almond milk and Greek yogurt. Mix well until smooth.
  2. Add the rolled oats and protein powder to the mixture. Stir them together gently, ensuring the powder incorporates well.
  3. Next, incorporate the chia seeds, vanilla extract, mashed banana, and cinnamon into the mix.
  4. If desired, add maple syrup or honey for sweetness.
  5. Stir in any optional ingredients such as pumpkin puree, diced apples, or strawberries.
  6. Mix everything until the oats are well submerged in the almond milk. Add more almond milk if the mixture looks too thick.
  7. Place the lid on the container and refrigerate it overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats to soak and soften.
Serving
  1. Once ready to eat, check the consistency and add more almond milk if necessary.
  2. Top with fresh fruits, nuts, or nut butters as desired.
