Ingredients

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 1/4 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
• 2 tbsp natural peanut butter or almond butter
• 2 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips
• 1–2 tbsp chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl or jar, stir together oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until well combined.

Step 2

Add peanut butter, chocolate chips, nuts (if using), and sea salt. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 3

Divide mixture into two mason jars or airtight containers.

Step 4

Cover and refrigerate overnight (at least 8 hours) until oats are soft and mixture is thickened.

Step 5

Before serving, stir well. Add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired. Top with extra chocolate chips or a drizzle of nut butter if desired.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Prepare the night before to let the oats soak and absorb all the flavors fully, ensuring a creamy and rich texture. Stirring before serving helps combine any separated layers and allows you to adjust the consistency to your liking with a little extra milk.

For a vegan option, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives and use vegan protein powder. Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew to change the flavor profile. Add a scoop of collagen peptides for an extra protein boost. To keep it gluten-free, make sure the oats you use are certified gluten-free.
