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; 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 (or more, to taste after refrigeration)
Toppings (Optional)
- Crushed pistachios
- Whipped cream
- Sliced bananas
- Mixed berries
- Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large airtight container or bowl, add rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, pistachio pudding mix, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), and honey. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Refrigerate: Seal the container tightly and refrigerate the oats mixture for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats to soak and the pudding mix to set for a creamy texture.
- Serve and Top: Once set, divide the overnight oats evenly into three bowls or jars. Add your preferred toppings such as crushed pistachios, sliced bananas (best added fresh on serving day), whipped cream, dark chocolate chips, or mixed berries. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For a dairy-free alternative, substitute Greek yogurt with a high-protein plant-based yogurt.
- Adjust the amount of honey after refrigeration depending on your preferred sweetness.
- Add fresh banana slices or berries just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- This recipe makes 3 servings and is ideal for meal prep breakfasts.
