Overnight Oats Jar

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats, see note 1
2 tablespoon chia seeds
¼ cup Greek yogurt, see note 2
¼ cup protein, vanilla recommended, see note 4
½ cup orange juice, see note 3, approx.1 fresh orange
1 ¼ cup milk, see note 4
½ teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
½ orange, including zest

Instructions

Zest ½ orange then remove the skin and slice into bite-sized cubes.
Mix together the zest with 1 cup rolled oats, 2 tbsp chia seeds, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, ¼ cup protein, ½ cup orange juice, 1 ¼ cup milk½ tsp vanilla extract in a container or 2 airtight jars.
Note - The mixture should look looser than you want to eat it. The oats, chia seeds and protein powder will continue absorbing liquid as they sit.
Top with diced ½ orange and store for at least 4 hours before eating.
If it becomes too thick, stir through milk or orange juice one tablespoon at a time.

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.

Storing

Store for up to 4-5 days. When ready to eat, give it a good stir.

Reheating Reheat in the microwave on 1 minute intervals until heated through (approx. 2-3 minutes depending on how thick they are).
