💪 Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for one power-packed serving:
-
1 cup rolled oats
-
1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or flavored; opt for high-protein versions)
-
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or any flavor you love)
-
1/2 cup milk (almond, skim, oat, or any kind you prefer)
-
1 tbsp chia seeds
-
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
-
1 tbsp berry sauce or jam (optional for a touch of sweetness)
🥣 Instructions
1. Mix the Base
In a large bowl or mason jar, combine the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, protein powder, milk, and chia seeds. Mix until fully blended. It should be thick and creamy.
2. Refrigerate Overnight
Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours). This allows the oats to soften and the chia seeds to absorb moisture, creating a pudding-like texture.
3. Serve and Top
In the morning, stir once more and top with fresh blueberries. Add a spoonful of berry sauce or jam if you want an extra fruity burst.
Tip: Eat it cold for a grab-and-go breakfast, or warm it up for 30 seconds in the microwave if you prefer it cozy.
