- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Diet: High-protein, Gluten-Free
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
- 1 scoop vanilla or cinnamon protein powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/2 medium apple, finely diced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mason jar or a small sealable container, add the rolled oats, protein powder, ground cinnamon, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir or shake the container to ensure the protein powder is evenly distributed among the oats.
- Pour in the almond milk and the Greek yogurt. If you prefer a slightly sweeter taste, add your maple syrup or honey at this stage. Stir vigorously with a spoon to make sure no protein powder clumps remain at the bottom of the jar.
- Gently fold in the finely diced apples. Mixing them in now allows the apples to slightly soften and release their natural juices into the oat mixture, enhancing the overall flavor.
- Seal the lid tightly on your container. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though leaving it overnight is best for the creamiest texture. The oats and chia seeds will expand and thicken the mixture into a pudding-like consistency.
