Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup strawberry Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3/4 cup diced strawberries
- Optional: 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- Optional: 1/4-1/2 cup water (if thick)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a pint-sized mason jar or another airtight container, combine the old-fashioned oats, milk, strawberry Greek yogurt, chia seeds, diced strawberries, and (if desired) vanilla protein powder.
- Mix Well: Stir the ingredients thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly distributed. This will prevent clumps of chia seeds or protein powder and ensure a consistent texture.
- Adjust Consistency (Optional): If the mixture is too thick, add water, a little at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. The oats will continue to thicken overnight, so err on the side of slightly thinner.
- Seal and Refrigerate: Seal the jar tightly and refrigerate overnight or for at least two hours. This allows the oats to soften and the chia seeds to thicken the mixture.
- Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, stir the oats and enjoy them cold. You can add additional toppings, such as sliced bananas, granola, or nut butter, if desired.
Notes
- Use old-fashioned oats for best texture.
- Adjust milk/water for desired consistency.
- Add toppings like nuts or fruit.
- Store in airtight container.
