Prepare ahead for breakfast with this quick, easy, and delicious recipe packed with protein
Ingredients
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, like almond or oat milk)
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (optional, but adds creaminess and protein)
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, but adds fiber, omega-3s, and helps thicken the oats)
2 teaspoons maple syrup (Blueberry, Cinnamon, Espresso, and Ginger Infused, Whiskey-barrel Aged, and Pure Maple Syrup are all excellent in this recipe)
1 scoop of whey (or the entirety of a single-serving package)
1 tablespoon of collagen
1 tablespoon of chia seeds
1 teaspoon of psyllium-husk powder
½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, enhances flavor)
Pinch of sea salt (enhances flavor)
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a pint jar or container with a lid.
Stir well to combine all ingredients, ensuring there are no clumps of chia seeds.
Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, ideally, overnight.
The next morning (or when ready to eat), give the oats a good stir.
If the consistency is too thick, add a splash of extra milk to thin it out.
Add your desired toppings (e.g., fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, nut butter, granola) and enjoy cold.
