Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 8 hours 5 minutes
Servings 1 servings

Equipment

  • Jar or airtight container
  • Spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 2 teaspoons peanut butter, natural, creamy
  • 1/2 banana banana, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon peanuts, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • In a jar or airtight container, combine the rolled oats, skim milk, Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, chia seeds, and peanut butter; stir until smooth and evenly combined.
  • Seal the container and refrigerate overnight (about 8 hours) to allow the oats to soften and thicken.
  • In the morning, stir the oats once, then top with the sliced banana, chopped peanuts, and mini chocolate chips; serve chilled.

Notes

  • Use a scoop size consistent with your protein powder label for best protein content.
  • Adjust milk amount for thicker or thinner texture.
  • Stir well before refrigerating to prevent clumps of protein powder.
