Instructions
 

  1. Grate 2 apples (skin on) on the large holes of a box grater and toss with 1 tbsp lemon juice so they don't brown.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together 1½ cups rolled oats, ¼ cup chia seeds, 2 scoops vanilla protein powder, and 2 tsp cinnamon.
  3. Add 2 cups milk of choice, 1½ cups greek yogurt, the grated apples, and 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup, if using. Stir until no dry pockets remain. It'll look runny at this point. That's what you want.
  4. Divide between 4 jars, cover, and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
  5. Before eating, give it a stir and loosen with a splash of milk if it's too thick. Top with toasted almonds and berries.

Notes

  • Gluten-free: Oats are naturally gluten-free, but they're often processed alongside wheat. Use certified gluten-free oats and check your protein powder label if that matters for you.
  • Mix-ins: Stir dried fruit like cherries, raisins, or chopped dates in before the overnight soak so they plump up. Anything crunchy (toasted walnuts, almonds, pumpkin seeds, coconut flakes) goes on right before eating so it stays crisp.
