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; can substitute with higher protein plant-based yogurt for dairy-free option)
- 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
- Mix Ingredients: Add rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, instant pistachio pudding mix, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), and honey into a large airtight container or bowl. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are smooth and well combined.
- Refrigerate: Seal the container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and pudding to set, creating a creamy texture.
- Serve and Top: After refrigeration, divide the pudding evenly into three bowls or jars for easy, grab-and-go breakfasts. Add your choice of toppings such as crushed pistachios, sliced bananas (best added fresh on the day of eating), dark chocolate chips, and whipped cream.
- Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Add fresh toppings when serving for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Adjust honey to your sweetness preference; flavored yogurt or vanilla protein powder can affect sweetness levels.
- For increased protein without protein powder, use Fairlife or skim milk instead of almond milk.
- Using cow’s milk results in a thicker consistency; add extra milk after refrigeration or an additional ½ cup when preparing.
- Nutritional information assumes minimal toppings and non-fat Greek yogurt.
