Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups Oatmeal
  • 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1 Banana
  • 10 fluid ounces Non-Fat Milk
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Organic Low-Fat Whipped Cream, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients and Banana: In a mason jar or any airtight container, add 2 cups of oatmeal, 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, and 1 sliced or mashed banana. This forms the base of your overnight oats.
  2. Add Milk and Mix: Pour in 10 fluid ounces of non-fat milk until all oatmeal is fully submerged and can absorb the liquid. Stir well to ensure even mixing of all ingredients.
  3. Add Sweetener and Flavor: Add 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything is well combined and flavors are evenly distributed.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator to soak for at least 6 hours or overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the flavors.
  5. Serve with Whipped Cream: In the morning or when ready to eat, remove the jar, give it a gentle stir if desired, and garnish with organic low-fat whipped cream to taste before serving.

Notes

  • Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess.
  • You can substitute non-fat milk with almond, soy, or any preferred milk alternative.
  • For added texture, consider topping with nuts or fresh fruit before serving.
  • This recipe is best prepared the night before to ensure proper soaking time.
  • Adjust sweetness by modifying the amount of maple syrup according to taste.
