Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk)

2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional for an extra protein boost)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

A pinch of salt

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for a creamy texture)

Toppings: Fresh berries, chopped nuts, banana slices, or a little extra maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Stir well until the oats are fully immersed.

    Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, protein powder (if using), ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Mix everything thoroughly so that all ingredients are well blended together.

      Carefully fold in the Greek yogurt to the mixture, achieving a creamy consistency without overmixing.

        Divide the mixture evenly between two airtight containers or jars. Ensure that they are sealed tightly to keep the oats fresh.

          Refrigerate the containers overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours, allowing the oats to soak and soften.

            When you're ready to enjoy, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture has thickened too much, add a splash of almond milk to reach your preferred consistency.

              Serve your overnight oats in bowls, topped with your choice of fresh berries, crunchy chopped nuts, banana slices, or a drizzle of additional maple syrup for added sweetness.

                Dive into your delicious and nutritious breakfast that you can savor at any time of day!
