Ashley Pitt
A high-protein, easy-to-make, delicious breakfast concoction.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup old-fashioned or rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup of milk I used almond
  • 1/3 cup of nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 big tablespoon of vanilla protein powder
  • 1 big tablespoon of sweetened shredded coconut
  • OPTIONAL: 1 teaspoon of chia seeds

Instructions
 

  • Combine all of the above ingredients into a bowl, and mix around.
  • Cover the bowl, and put it in the fridge overnight.
  • In the morning, take it out, and let it sit for a few minutes to warm up.
  • Add your favorite toppings, perhaps a sliced-up banana, blueberries or almond butter.
  • Enjoy.

Notes

When I make overnight oats, I actually use more than the ingredients above by going with overflowing measurements. Meaning my 1/3 cup is much more than that, because the oats and the yogurt are actually filled way above the marker line and dangling over the edges. It's not quite a full 1/2 cup, but definitely more than 1/3. However, you're safe using the stated measurements above.
