Instructions

In a mason jar or airtight container, combine almond milk, Greek yogurt, oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir well until smooth.
Add your chosen flavor mix-ins and stir again.
Seal with a lid and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
In the morning, give the oats a stir and add more almond milk if you want a creamier texture.
Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or nut butter if desired. Enjoy chilled or warmed in the microwave for 30–60 seconds.

Notes

Use rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats work but will be softer. Avoid steel-cut oats.
Adjust liquid if using protein powder since it thickens the oats.
Prep several jars at once for a week’s worth of grab-and-go breakfasts.
Make it vegan by swapping Greek yogurt for coconut yogurt and using plant-based protein powder.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in portions and thaw overnight.
