Ingredients
  

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 banana, sliced (for topping)

Handful of mixed berries (fresh or frozen, for topping)

Optional: 1 tablespoon nut butter (for added richness)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

    Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the almond milk and add the Greek yogurt. Stir until all the ingredients are well combined and you have a smooth mixture.

      Sweeten It Up: Drizzle in the maple syrup or honey and mix until incorporated. Taste the mixture to see if you need more sweetness, adjusting to your preference.

        Chill Time: Transfer the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container. Seal the jar/container and place it in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and swell up.

          Prepare for Serving: When you're ready to enjoy, take the jar out of the fridge and stir the oats to fluff them up. If the oats are too thick for your liking, you can add a splash of additional milk to loosen them.

            Toppings Galore: Top your overnight oats with sliced banana, mixed berries, and a drizzle of nut butter if using. You can also sprinkle some extra chia seeds or nuts for added crunch.

              Enjoy: Your protein-packed overnight oats are ready to fuel your day! Enjoy them cold straight from the jar, or heat them in the microwave for 30-60 seconds if you prefer them warm.
