Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, add rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup or honey if using. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. During this time, the oats will absorb the liquid and soften, creating a creamy and cohesive consistency.
Top and Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir. Add your choice of fresh berries, sliced fruit, or a tablespoon of nut butter on top for added flavor and texture.
Enjoy: Serve the overnight oats chilled directly from the fridge, or if you prefer, warm them in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds before eating.

Notes

For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and milk, and substitute honey with maple syrup.
Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less maple syrup or honey.
Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Feel free to experiment with different fruits and nut butters to customize the flavor.
If the oats are too thick in the morning, stir in a little extra milk to reach your desired consistency.
