Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats not instant
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any milk of your choice
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon protein powder whey, plant-based, or your preferred type
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener like maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • Pinch cinnamon

Equipment

  • Jar, bowl, or airtight container
  • Saucepan (optional, for reheating)

Method
 

  1. In a jar, bowl, or airtight container, combine the rolled oats and chia seeds. This combination is key to achieving that satisfying, thick consistency.

  2. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk. Ensure all the oats and chia seeds are submerged to allow them to absorb the liquid effectively.

  3. Add the protein powder. This is a crucial element for weight loss as it promotes satiety and helps build lean muscle. Whisk gently or stir thoroughly to break up any clumps.

  4. Stir in the vanilla extract and your optional sweetener, if using. If you're adding cinnamon, now is the time to incorporate it for an extra layer of flavor.

  5. Give everything a good stir. Make sure all ingredients are well combined and there are no dry pockets of oats or protein powder.
  6. Cover the container tightly. This is essential to prevent any spills and to keep your ingredients fresh.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquid, creating a pudding-like texture.
  8. In the morning, give your overnight oats a quick stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
