Ingredients

⅓ cup + 1 tablespoons steel cut oats* gluten-free if needed
2 tablespoons chia seeds
28 grams plant based vanilla protein powder
2 teaspoons matcha powder
⅓ cup plant based greek yogurt Siggi's has a great option
½ cup unsweetened non-dairy milk

optional toppings:

Instructions

To make all at once: In a 16 ounce jar (or larger), combine all of your ingredients from steel cut oats to milk, and stir well until thoroughly mixed. You can also seal jar and shake, or use a bowl with a lid. Allow matcha oats to thicken overnight, or at least 4 hours, until liquid is absorbed. Check for desired thickness in the morning – stir in a couple tablespoons of more milk if desired.
To make individual servings: Once mixed together, you can divide oats into two 8 ounce jars for a quick grab-and-go meal.
Add your toppings like blueberries, crunchy granola, nut butter, etc. and enjoy straight from the jar.

Notes

OATS - you may replace steel cut oats with 1/4 cup of quick or rolled oats, I just enjoy the texture of steel cut better!

PROTEIN POWDER - you may need a few more tablespoons of liquid depending on protein powder used. Simply check your overnight oats in the morning or after 4 hours and if the mixture is very thick, stir in 2-3 more tablespoons of milk. There is no added sugar in this recipe, because the protein powder I typically use is sweetened. If you're looking for a little sweeter flavor, I suggest pure maple syrup.

STORAGE - leftover overnight oats will keep in the same mason jar or airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy cold or rewarm in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals.
