Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 scoops (about 60 g) vanilla whey protein powder
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup optional
Instructions
- 1Set out four meal-prep jars or lidded containers so the oats can chill evenly overnight.
- 2Divide the rolled oats and chia seeds equally among the jars, tapping the bottoms so the dry base sits flat.
- 3Whisk the whey protein powder into the almond milk in a large measuring cup until completely smooth and no clumps remain.
- 4Stir the Greek yogurt into the protein milk mixture until creamy, then taste and add a drizzle of honey only if you want extra sweetness.
- 5Pour the liquid evenly over the oats in each jar, using a spoon to press any floating oats under the surface so they hydrate fully.
- 6Top each jar with a generous handful of mixed berries, pressing a few down into the liquid so the fruit flavors the oats.
- 7Seal the jars and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight until the oats are soft, thick, and spoonable.
- 8In the morning give each jar a quick stir from the bottom up; add a splash more milk if the texture is thicker than you like.
- 9Eat cold straight from the jar or warm gently in the microwave for 45 seconds if you prefer a cozy bowl, keeping the berries bright on top.
