Ingredients

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)
  • 3 tablespoons Instant Jell-O Pistachio Pudding Mix
  • 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 scoops vanilla or unflavored protein powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey (adjust to taste)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Crushed pistachios
  • Whipped cream
  • Sliced bananas
  • Mixed berries
  • Dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all the base ingredients — rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, pistachio pudding mix, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), and honey — into a large airtight container or bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Whisk all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and everything is well combined, ensuring the pudding mix is fully dissolved.
  3. Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the container securely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and absorb the liquid, creating a creamy pudding texture.
  4. Portion and Serve: Separate the prepared oats into three individual bowls or jars for convenient, grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
  5. Add Toppings: Just before serving, top with your choice of crushed pistachios, sliced bananas (best added fresh on the day of eating), whipped cream, dark chocolate chips, or mixed berries to enhance texture and flavor.
  6. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, maintaining freshness.

Notes

  • Adjust honey to suit your sweetness preference; flavored yogurt and protein powder add sweetness, so additional sweeteners might not be necessary.
  • To increase protein without using protein powder, substitute almond milk with higher protein milk like Fairlife or skim milk.
  • Cow’s milk results in a thicker consistency; if using, add extra milk (about ½ cup) either during preparation or after refrigeration to achieve desired creaminess.
  • For best freshness and texture, add fresh toppings like bananas the day you plan to serve.
  • Nutritional info provided excludes most toppings and is based on using non-fat Chobani Greek yogurt.
