Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 & 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, 2% or 0%)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, oat, almond, etc.)

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Protein & Fiber Boosters

  • 1 scoop protein powder (optional, for extra protein)
  • 1–2 tbsp seeds or flaxseed

Add-Ins & Toppings

  • ½ cup fresh or frozen berries
  • 2–3 tbsp nuts or nut butter for extra protein and healthy fat

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract in a large Tupperware and mix until well combined.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the rolled oats, salt, and ground cinnamon into the mixture and whisk to combine evenly.
  3. Add Protein Boosters: Stir in protein powder or seeds like chia or flaxseed if using, to enhance protein and fiber content.
  4. Fold in Extras: Gently fold in fresh or frozen berries along with nuts or nut butter to add texture and healthy fats.
  5. Refrigerate: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6–8 hours, or ideally overnight, allowing oats to soften and flavors to meld.
