Ingredients

Rolled oats 1/3 cup
Whey protein powder (vanilla) 1 scoop
Almond butter 1 tbsp
Unsweetened almond milk 1 cup
Chia seeds 1 tbsp

Method

Measure Ingredients. Use measuring cups and spoons to accurately measure 1/3 cup rolled oats, 1 scoop whey protein powder, 1 tablespoon almond butter, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, and 1 tablespoon chia seeds.
Tip: Level off dry ingredients with the back of a knife for accuracy.
Combine Dry Ingredients. In a medium-sized bowl or jar, add the rolled oats, whey protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir gently to mix these dry ingredients evenly.
Tip: Mixing dry ingredients first helps prevent clumps when liquids are added.
Add Wet Ingredients. Pour 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Then add 1 tablespoon of almond butter on top.
Tip: If almond butter is thick, you can warm it slightly to make mixing easier.
Mix Thoroughly. Use a spoon or whisk to combine all ingredients until smooth and well incorporated. Ensure the almond butter is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Tip: Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients.
Refrigerate Overnight. Cover the bowl or jar with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let the oats soak for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
Tip: Use a jar with a lid for easy storage and portability.
Serve and Enjoy. In the morning, stir the overnight oats well. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk to loosen it. Enjoy cold or warm it slightly in the microwave if preferred.
Tip: Top with fresh fruit or nuts for extra flavor and texture if desired.

Pro tips

Use a jar with a wide mouth for easy mixing and eating.
If you prefer a sweeter taste, add a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup before refrigerating.
