Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mason jar or a medium-sized container with a lid, add the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and a tiny pinch of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together to ensure the protein powder is evenly distributed and won’t clump later.
- Pour in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Stir the mixture vigorously with a spoon until everything is well combined and the yogurt is fully incorporated into the liquid. Make sure there are no dry pockets of oats at the bottom of the jar.
- Gently fold in the fresh lemon zest and the blueberries. If you are using frozen blueberries, be aware that they might slightly streak the oats with purple color, but the taste will remain fantastic. Stir just enough to distribute the berries throughout the mixture.
- Seal the jar tightly with its lid. Place the container in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though letting it sit overnight (8 hours) is recommended for the best texture. This allows the chia seeds and oats to fully hydrate and thicken.
