Ingredients
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup Fairlife milk (or regular milk)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2%)
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein isolate
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup berries or sliced banana (to add in the morning)
Instructions
- 1
In a jar or container with a lid, combine oats, milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla, and honey.
- 2
Stir well until protein powder is fully mixed in.
- 3
Seal and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
- 4
In the morning, stir — oats will have thickened. Add a splash more milk if too thick.
- 5
Top with berries or banana and eat cold or briefly microwave for 60 seconds.
GLP-1 Notes
Cold oats are often better tolerated than hot food on GLP-1 medications — the cooling effect and dense texture can be easier on a reactive stomach. Make 3–4 jars at once for the week. Protein powder is key here — without it, plain overnight oats are only about 12g protein.
