Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt

- In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, protein powder, honey (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir well to combine.
- Add the sliced banana and nut butter (if using) on top of the oat mixture, then cover the jar or container.
- Refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours) to allow the oats to soak up the liquid and thicken.
- In the morning, give the oats a good stir, add extra milk if you prefer a thinner consistency, and enjoy!
