Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1/2 medium banana, mashed (save a few slices for topping if you like)
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (about 20–25 g protein)
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (or powdered peanut butter for fewer calories)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or ground flaxseed
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon and a small pinch of salt
  • Sweetener to taste: 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup, honey, or a few drops of stevia (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Mash the banana: In a jar or bowl, mash half a banana until smooth.
  • Add wet ingredients: Stir in almond milk, vanilla, and sweetener if using.
  • Mix in protein: Whisk in the protein powder until no lumps remain. Add a splash more milk if it gets too thick.
  • Add the rest: Stir in oats, chia or flax, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  • Swirl in peanut butter: Dollop the peanut butter and gently swirl it through the mixture.
  • Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  • Serve: In the morning, stir, adjust thickness with a bit more milk, and top with a few banana slices if desired.
