Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk or pistachio milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • ½ Tablespoon maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Pistachio Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1 Tablespoon pistachio butter
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped, roasted, and salted pistachios plus more for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients to a mason jar or container and stir thoroughly to combine the oats, protein powder, chia seeds, liquids, pistachio butter, and pistachios evenly.
  2. Refrigerate: Place the jar or container in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak up the liquid and soften properly.
  3. Stir and Adjust: In the morning, take the oats out of the fridge and stir well. The protein powder, oats, and chia seeds absorb much of the liquid, so add a little more almond or pistachio milk if you prefer a creamier consistency.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Top your overnight oats with additional chopped pistachios, a drizzle of pistachio butter, or any other desired toppings. Enjoy immediately for a nutritious breakfast.

Notes

  • No protein powder? You can omit it completely if you don’t have any or prefer not to use it.
  • If using a plant-based protein powder, you may need to increase the milk amount to 1 to 1¼ cups for the right consistency.
  • Storage: Keep overnight oats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days to facilitate meal prepping. Stir before serving and add fresh toppings.
