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) (sub with higher protein plant-based yogurt for a 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, taste test after refrigeration)
Toppings (Optional)
- Crushed pistachios
- Whipped cream
- Sliced bananas (best if added on the day of consumption)
- Mixed berries
- Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all base ingredients—rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, pistachio pudding mix, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), and honey—into a large airtight container or bowl. Whisk everything thoroughly until smooth and well combined, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Refrigerate: Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld, resulting in a creamy and thick pudding-like texture.
- Serve and Garnish: After refrigeration, portion the mixture into three bowls or jars for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts. Top with optional crushed pistachios, sliced bananas (added fresh on the day of eating), whipped cream, mixed berries, or dark chocolate chips as desired.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and flavor.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of almond milk based on your preferred consistency—use less for thicker oats or more for a creamier texture.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with a high protein plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free version.
- Honey can be adjusted to taste, especially after refrigeration, as flavors develop.
- Bananas and whipped cream toppings are best added fresh just before serving to maintain texture.
- This recipe is ideal for meal prepping breakfasts for several days.
