- Pumpkin Spice Latte: ¼ cup pumpkin puree, 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, ¾ tsp pumpkin spice
- Apple Pie: ¼ cup diced apple, 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, 1 tsp cinnamon, pecans for topping
- Peanut Butter & Jelly: 1–2 tbsp peanut butter, ¼ cup diced strawberries, splash of almond milk
- Peaches ‘n Cream: ¼ diced peach, 1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey, 1 tsp cinnamon, splash of almond milk
- Coconut Bliss: 1–2 tbsp shredded coconut, sliced banana for topping
Instructions
- In a jar or airtight container, combine almond milk, yogurt, oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and vanilla extract. Stir well.
- Add your chosen flavor ingredients and mix until evenly combined.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, stir, add extra almond milk if needed, and top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of nut butter.
- Enjoy chilled or warm (microwave for 30–60 seconds).
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats work but will be softer.
- Adjust the liquid-to-oats ratio by adding extra almond milk if using protein powder.
- Meal prep several jars at once for a full week of ready-to-go breakfasts.
- For a vegan version, swap Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use plant-based protein powder.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in portions and thaw overnight.
