Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a sealable mason jar or small container, start by adding the base ingredients: almond milk, Greek yogurt, oats, protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, mashed banana, and cinnamon.
  2. Stir thoroughly to ensure all the oats are well submerged in the almond milk. If needed, splash in an extra bit of milk.
  3. Select the flavor base you’re going for and add those specific ingredients.
  4. Seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight (up to 5 days).
  5. When you’re ready to serve, stir in more almond milk if you prefer a creamier texture, and add any toppings you desire.
  6. Enjoy chilled!

Notes

To keep your High-Protein Overnight Oats fresh, store them in the refrigerator. Keep toppings separate until just before serving to maintain their texture. These oats are best enjoyed cold or at room temperature, but if preferred warmed, microwave for short intervals, stirring in between. For best results, ensure oats are thoroughly mixed with all ingredients, and adjust sweetness with maple syrup to taste.
