Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine the base ingredients in a mason jar: oats, protein powder, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
  2. Add your desired flavor variations: for Banana Bread, fold in the mashed banana; for Pumpkin Spice Latte, mix in pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice.
  3. Cover the jar securely and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight, to let the oats absorb the liquid.
  4. When ready to serve, stir the oats and add a splash of almond milk if needed. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, or honey.
  5. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
