Chef's Note
Using old-fashioned rolled oats instead of instant oats provides a much better 'al dente' texture after the overnight soak. If the mixture is too thick in the morning, simply stir in a splash of extra milk.

Ingredients
1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
5 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
3.75 cups 2% milk
2 whole bananas
5 tablespoons walnut halves
2.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- 1
Arrange 5 airtight glass jars or meal-prep containers on your counter.
- 2
Distribute 1.5 cups of raw old-fashioned rolled oats evenly across the 5 containers, placing approximately 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon into each.
- 3
Add 1 scoop of raw vanilla whey protein powder and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to each container.
- 4
Pour 3/4 cup of fresh 2% milk into each jar and stir vigorously with a spoon until the protein powder is fully dissolved and no dry clumps remain.
- 5
Seal the containers with lids and place them in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the oats to soften and absorb the milk.
- 6
When ready to eat, peel 1/3 of a raw banana and slice it into thin rounds for each serving.
- 7
Take 1 tablespoon of raw walnut halves per serving and break them into small pieces using your hands or a knife.
- 8
Top the chilled oat mixture with the fresh banana slices and walnut pieces just before serving to maintain the best texture.
