Chef's Note
For the creamiest texture, use rolled oats rather than quick oats or steel-cut. You can prepare these oats up to 3 days in advance for quick grab-and-go breakfasts. For variety, try different seasonal fruits or add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolate version. The protein powder can be adjusted based on your specific macro needs.

Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup Greek yogurt (2% fat)
1 cup milk (2%)
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 scoops (60g total) protein powder (vanilla)
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the cinnamon evenly.
- 2
Add 1 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of honey to the oat mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well combined.
- 3
Gently fold in 2 scoops (60g) of vanilla protein powder until fully incorporated, ensuring there are no clumps.
- 4
Wash and prepare 1 cup of mixed berries. If using strawberries, slice them into smaller pieces.
- 5
Divide the oat mixture evenly between two mason jars or airtight containers.
- 6
Top each container with half of the mixed berries, pressing them slightly into the oat mixture.
- 7
Seal the containers and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours to allow the oats to soften and flavors to develop.
- 8
Before serving, toast 1/4 cup of sliced almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- 9
Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the oats just before eating for added crunch and nutty flavor.
