Notes
Note 1 - Rolled Oats
You can use steel cut, but you may need to adjust the amount of liquid.
Note 2 - Greek yogurt
Substitutions - dairy-free yogurt e.g. coconut, soy, oat
Note 3 - Orange juice
Freshly squeezed is recommended. If using store-bought, aim for ones that are pure orange juice (with pulp is recommended) rather than with extra filler ingredients e.g. sugar and water.
Note 4 - Milk
This may need to be adjusted depending on your protein powder and yogurt type. You want it runny when first made - but still see the oats. This will make it soft and creamy once stored.
