Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of salt

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for extra creaminess)

Toppings: fresh berries, chopped nuts, banana slices, or additional maple syrup

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, protein powder (if using), cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well blended.

    Add the Greek yogurt to the mixture and fold gently until fully incorporated. This will add creaminess and increase protein content.

      Divide the mixture evenly into two airtight containers or jars, sealing them tightly.

        Place the containers in the refrigerator and let the oats soak overnight (or at least 4-6 hours).

          In the morning, give the oats a good stir to combine. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk until the desired consistency is reached.

            Top with your choice of fresh berries, chopped nuts, banana slices, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup before serving.

              Enjoy your delicious and nutritious breakfast any time of day!
