Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 4 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
- 2 cups milk
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
From your pantry: 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tbsp maple syrup, pinch of salt.
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup and salt until smooth.
- Whisk in the protein powder, then slowly whisk in the milk until there are no dry lumps.
- Stir in the oats until every flake is coated.
- Divide among 4 jars or containers, seal and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Stir before eating and loosen with a splash of milk if it has thickened too much. Top with a few sliced bananas or a drizzle of peanut butter if you like.
Tip: Protein powder clumps if it hits liquid alone. Whisking it into the thick yogurt mixture first, then adding milk, keeps it silky.
