01 - 1/2 cup rolled oats
02 - 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla or chocolate protein powder
03 - 1 tbsp chia seeds
04 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • This breakfast keeps me satisfied straight through the morning—no sneaky hunger pangs before lunch.
  • I love that you can personalize it endlessly with spices, fruits, and whatever nut butter happens to call my name.
02 -
  • I once impatiently ate my oats after only two hours in the fridge—not recommended, unless you love chewy oats and disappointment.
  • Swapping different protein powders completely shifts the flavor; I finally found one that doesn’t overpower with sweetness.
03 -
  • Layer berries and nut butter on top just before eating for the best texture contrast.
  • A five-minute stir after the first hour in the fridge gives a more even consistency.
