Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old fashioned oats)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 ripe banana, mashed (save the other half for topping)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine the Dry Bases
In a mason jar or a small sealable container, add your rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir these dry ingredients together first to ensure the protein powder is evenly distributed and doesn’t clump when you add the liquids later. - Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients and Flavorings
Add the mashed banana, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and your sweetener of choice to the jar. Pour in the almond milk. Use a spoon to stir everything vigorously until the peanut butter is incorporated and no dry pockets of oats remain at the bottom of the jar. - Step 3: Set and Chill
Seal the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though overnight is best for the creamiest texture. Before eating, give the oats a quick stir. If the mixture is too thick, splash in a little extra milk. Top with the remaining banana slices and an extra drizzle of peanut butter before serving.
