Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop protein powder of choice
  • ⅓ cup almond milk
  • ⅓ cup oats
  • 2 tsp chia seeds
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ⅛ tsp almond extract (substitute vanilla extract)

Triple Berry Variation

  • ⅓ cup frozen berries

Peanut Butter, Banana, and Jelly Variation

  • 3 Tbsp strawberry jam (see notes for homemade recipe)
  • 2 Tbsp peanut butter
  • ½ banana, cut into slices

Double Chocolate Variation

  • 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 Tbsp mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base oats: In a single-serve jar, combine the Greek yogurt and protein powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure there are no large clumps, creating a smooth base. Add the almond milk and stir again until fully incorporated.
  2. Add dry ingredients: To the jar, add the oats, chia seeds, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly coat the oats with the wet mixture.
  3. Add almond extract: Swirl in the almond extract to flavor the base oats. Place a lid on the jar and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften.
  4. Prepare Triple Berry oats: After setting, stir in the frozen berries directly into the base oats. Enjoy chilled.
  5. Prepare Peanut Butter, Banana, and Jelly oats: Before refrigerating, swirl 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter into the base oats. Cover and set in the fridge overnight. When ready to eat, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam and 1 tablespoon peanut butter, top with sliced banana, and enjoy.
  6. Prepare Double Chocolate oats: Mix cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips into the base oats before refrigeration. Cover and chill overnight. Once set, stir in the remaining mini chocolate chips and enjoy.

Notes

  • To make homemade strawberry jam, simmer fresh strawberries with sugar and lemon juice until thickened, then cool.
  • You can substitute almond extract with vanilla extract if preferred.
  • Use your preferred protein powder—whey, plant-based, or collagen—to customize taste and protein content.
  • Adjust the almond milk quantity for desired thickness.
  • Chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, boosting the nutritional profile.
  • Overnight soaking softens the oats making them easier to digest and enhances flavors.
