Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 serving protein powder
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup strawberries frozen

Toppings

  • 1/4 cup strawberries fresh
  • 1 tablespoon peanuts

Instructions
 

  • In a jar or container, combine the rolled oats and chia seeds.
  • Add the maple syrup and peanut butter to the oats and chia mixture. You can adjust the amount of peanut butter based on your preference.
  • Next, add the protein powder to the jar. Make sure to use your preferred protein powder and adjust the quantity according to the serving size.
  • Pour in the milk of your choice.
  • Add the frozen strawberries to the mixture. You can chop them into smaller pieces if desired.
  • Stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
  • Cover the jar or container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4-6 hours to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld together.
  • In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the consistency is too thick, you can add more milk to achieve your desired texture.
  • Serve the overnight oats in a bowl or enjoy them directly from the jar.
  • Top with fresh strawberries and peanuts for added flavor and texture.

Notes

Feel free to customize this recipe by adding other toppings such as sliced bananas, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of additional peanut butter. 
To warm overnight oats, you have a few options:
  • Microwave method:
    • Transfer the overnight oats from the refrigerator into a microwave-safe bowl.
    • Heat the oats in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through.
    • Check the temperature and continue microwaving in 30-second increments until the oats reach your desired warmth.
  • Stovetop method:
    • Pour the overnight oats into a small saucepan.
    • Heat the oats over low to medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking and ensure even heating. You may need to add a splash of milk to thin the consistency. 
    • Warm the oats for 3-5 minutes or until they reach the desired temperature.
    • Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.
