01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

02 - 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice

03 - 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

03 - Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to fully hydrate.

01 -

This recipe transforms basic oats into a satisfyingly creamy breakfast with an impressive boost of protein that keeps you full.
The make-ahead approach means breakfast is already ready, even on the most hectic mornings.

02 -

Skipping the protein powder step or adding it after the oats are chilled leads to lumpy, chalky bits—stir it in early with the liquids.
Even a tiny bit too much chia will make your oats set up super thick, so level off your tablespoons to avoid a gelled surprise.

03 -

Let your protein powder and liquids mingle for a minute before adding yogurt—it helps prevent any powdery clumps.
A pinch of salt (just a pinch!) wakes up all the flavors and makes a big difference.
