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) (or higher protein plant-based yogurt for 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, to taste)
Toppings (optional)
- Crushed pistachios
- Whipped cream
- Sliced bananas or mixed berries
- Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all base ingredients—rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, instant pistachio pudding mix, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), and honey—into a large airtight container or bowl. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and achieve a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
- Serve and Top: Portion the pudding oats into three separate bowls or jars for convenient, grab-and-go breakfasts. Just before serving, add your choice of toppings such as crushed pistachios, freshly sliced bananas, dark chocolate chips, and whipped cream. If storing, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use almond milk or any preferred milk to adjust the creaminess and flavor.
- Choose plant-based yogurt to make this recipe dairy-free while maintaining protein content.
- Adjust honey to your desired sweetness after refrigeration as chia seeds and pudding mix can affect perceived sweetness.
- Add fresh toppings like bananas or berries on the day of consumption to preserve freshness.
- The recipe is easily customizable with various protein powders and toppings.
