Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 scoop protein powder (optional)
1 cup milk of choice
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries) (optional)
Nut butter (optional)
Granola (optional)

Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, and protein powder (if using). Mix thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir well to ensure all the oats are coated.
Divide the mixture into individual jars or containers with lids.
Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
The next morning, check the consistency. If the oats are too thick, stir in a little more milk.
Add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a dollop of nut butter, or a sprinkle of granola before serving.
