Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and salt in a jar or container.
- Add the peanut butter, almond milk, and maple syrup (if using) to the dry ingredients.
- Stir or shake the mixture well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the peanut butter is mostly mixed in.
- Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- In the morning, stir the oats. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Eat cold directly from the container.
Notes
- For extra protein, use Greek yogurt instead of some of the milk.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, increase the milk by 1/4 cup.
- Top with sliced banana or chopped peanuts before serving for added texture.
- Use whey or a plant-based protein powder that mixes well without clumping.
