Instructions

Notes

Serving Size: ½ Cup

Expert Tips:

Combine the almond milk and protein powder before adding them to the oatmeal. Don't skip this step; it helps disperse the protein powder and prevent the oats from clumping and becoming chalky as they set.
Store overnight oats in a jar with room to spare since the oatmeal and chia seeds expand as they rehydrate, and so will any mix-ins you add.
Before adding the toppings, stir the mixture before digging in. If the oats seem dry after sitting in the fridge, add another splash of almond milk.
