Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 ¼ – 2½ cups vanilla or unflavored almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla; can substitute with higher protein plant-based yogurt for dairy-free option)
- 3 tablespoons Instant Jell-O Pistachio Pudding Mix
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 scoops vanilla or unflavored protein powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey (adjust to taste after refrigeration)
Toppings (Optional)
- Crushed pistachios
- Whipped cream
- Sliced bananas (best added on the day of consumption)
- Mixed berries
- Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, pistachio pudding mix, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), and honey into a large airtight container or bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and the pudding mix to thicken the mixture, creating a creamy texture.
- Portion and Add Toppings: After refrigeration, divide the overnight oats into three bowls or jars for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts. Add desired toppings such as crushed pistachios, sliced bananas, whipped cream, dark chocolate chips, or mixed berries. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of almond milk to your preferred consistency; use less for thicker oats or more for creamier texture.
- Adding toppings like sliced bananas is best done just before serving to maintain freshness.
- Use plant-based yogurt and milk alternatives to keep this recipe dairy-free and vegan.
- For extra sweetness, more honey can be added after the oats have chilled and flavors have melded.
- Protein powder is optional but adds extra protein, perfect for a filling breakfast.
