Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond)
2 tsp chia seeds
2 tsp honey or maple syrup
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 ripe banana, sliced
2 tbsp natural peanut butter
1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

1

In a jar or airtight container, combine 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder, 2 tsp chia seeds, and 1/8 tsp salt. Stir the dry ingredients together.
2

Add 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond), 2 tsp honey or maple syrup, and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the protein powder is fully dissolved and no clumps remain.
3

Swirl in 2 tbsp natural peanut butter for ribbons of flavor, or stir fully to combine.
4

Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight. The oats will absorb the liquid and thicken considerably.
5

Before serving, stir the oats and add a splash of milk if they are too thick. Top with 1 sliced ripe banana and any extra toppings you like. Serve cold.
