Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a mason jar or airtight container, add the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, ground cinnamon, and maple syrup if you are using it. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container with a lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. During this time, the oats and chia seeds will absorb the liquid, thickening to a creamy consistency.
Top and Serve: The next morning, give the oats a good stir. Add your choice of fresh fruit, berries, or a spoonful of nut butter on top to boost flavor and texture.
Enjoy: Serve the overnight oats chilled directly from the refrigerator, or warm them in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds if you prefer a hot breakfast.
