Chef's Note
For the best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than instant oats, which can become too mushy when soaked. If the mixture is too thick after soaking, stir in a splash of extra milk right before serving.

Ingredients
2.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
6 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
5 cups whole milk
3 whole bananas
0.5 cup walnut halves
5 teaspoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl or container, combine 2.5 cups of raw rolled oats, 6 scoops of vanilla whey protein powder, 5 teaspoons of chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
- 2
Slowly pour 5 cups of cold whole milk into the dry mixture while whisking or stirring constantly to ensure the protein powder dissolves without forming clumps.
- 3
Divide the mixture evenly into five separate airtight jars or containers (approximately 1.5 cups of liquid mixture per container).
- 4
Seal the containers and place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the milk and soften.
- 5
Each morning, take one container from the fridge.
- 6
Peel and slice 1/2 of a raw banana into thin rounds.
- 7
Roughly chop 1.5 tablespoons of raw walnut halves (from the 0.5 cup total) into bite-sized pieces.
- 8
Top the chilled oats with the fresh banana slices and chopped walnuts immediately before eating to maintain the crunch of the nuts.
