Chef's Note
For the best texture, be sure to use rolled oats rather than quick oats or steel-cut oats. To enhance the protein content even further, you can substitute some of the almond milk with liquid egg whites (pasteurized) - just make sure to add them after refrigeration and before serving. For variety, try rotating different seasonal fruits or adding a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the base mixture.
