Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (45g) Old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp (12g) Black chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Sea salt
  • 1 scoop (30g) Whey protein powder
  • 1/3 cup (75g) Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2/3 cup (160ml) Unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Fresh berries

Instructions:

  1. Combine dry solids. Drop the rolled oats, chia seeds, cinnamon, sea salt, and protein powder into your 16 oz mason jar. Note: Mixing these while dry prevents the protein from forming sticky lumps once the liquid hits.
  2. Agitate the mix. Whisk these together with a fork for 30 seconds until the powder is evenly distributed throughout the oats.
  3. Introduce the wet elements. Spoon in the Greek yogurt, then pour the almond milk and vanilla extract over the top.
  4. Execute the deep stir. Use your spatula to stir until the mixture is uniform and velvety. Ensure you scrape the very bottom of the jar to catch any hidden dry spots.
  5. Seal the container. Twist the lid on tight to prevent oxidation and keep the oats fresh.
  6. Initiate the cold soak. Place the jar in the back of the fridge until the oats are fully hydrated, which takes at least 6 hours or overnight.
  7. Final texture check. Remove the jar the next morning and give it a vigorous stir. If it seems too thick, add a tiny splash of milk.
  8. Add the finishing layers. Top the oats with 1/4 cup fresh berries and 1 tsp almond butter until it looks vibrant and appetizing.
  9. Serve cold. Enjoy immediately while the texture is at its peak.
