Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (50g) rolled oats
- ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds (optional)
- For the topping (optional): sliced banana, drizzle of peanut butter, dark chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Mash the banana: In a small bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
- Combine the wet ingredients: In a mason jar or container, add the mashed banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and peanut butter. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Add the dry ingredients: Pour in the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, and chia seeds (if using). Stir until no dry clumps remain.
- Seal and refrigerate: Put the lid on the jar and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Stir and serve: In the morning, stir the oats. If too thick, add a splash of milk.
- Add toppings: Top with sliced banana, peanut butter drizzle, chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, and flaky sea salt.
Notes
Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness. If using plant-based protein powder, add an extra splash of milk as it absorbs more liquid. For a thicker texture, add an extra tablespoon of chia seeds. The oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
