Servings: 1 1x
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup old fashioned rolled oats (not quick oats, steel cut, or instant oats)
- 1 scoop (30 grams) vanilla or chocolate protein powder*
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ cup milk of choice**
- Optional for serving: fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, nut butter, granola, and/or dash of cinnamon
Instructions
- To a small jar or small bowl with a lid (I use these jars), add the rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds; stir well to combine.
- Pour the milk over the oat mixture and stir again until no protein powder clumps remain (NOTE: the chia seeds may clump up a bit, but that’s okay). The mixture may seem loose or “wet” but it will thicken overnight.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
- To serve, top with toppings of your choice.
- May store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
* Puori whey protein powder is my go-to protein powder and what I use to make these oats. I like it because it’s a high-quality protein powder, rigorously third-party tested, and doesn’t contain any artificial sweeteners. Instead, it’s sweetened lightly with just a little coconut palm sugar. I’ve made them with both the Puori dark chocolate protein powder and the Puori bourbon vanilla whey protein powder. Use code PUORIxRFD for 20% off your first order.
** Use any favorite milk, though non-dairy milk works best. I typically use oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk. For thicker oats, reduce the milk by 2 tablespoons.
