Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla casein or whey protein powder about 1/3 cup
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp rainbow nonpareils sprinkles for topping
  • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt for topping (optional)

Method
 

  1. **Whisk.** In a 16 oz mason jar combine oats, protein powder, almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla, almond extract, and salt.
  2. **Stir.** Stir really well so the protein powder fully dissolves with no clumps at the bottom.
  3. **Chill.** Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  4. **Top.** In the morning stir again, add a splash of milk if too thick, and top with sprinkles and a dollop of Greek yogurt.
  5. **Serve.** Eat cold straight from the jar. The oats stay good 4 days in the fridge for meal prep.

Notes

Use casein protein powder for the thickest pudding texture. Whey works but stays slightly thinner. Add the rainbow sprinkles right before eating so they keep their color and crunch. Use rolled oats not instant or steel cut. Instant turns to mush, steel cut stays chewy.
