Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup low-fat milk of choice
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp natural almond butter
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: sliced almonds and an extra drizzle of honey to top before serving

Method
 

  1. Add the rolled oats, Greek yogurt, milk, chia seeds, honey, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt to a jar or container with a lid.
  2. Stir everything together thoroughly until fully combined.
  3. Add the almond butter and stir it through — a few streaks are fine, it will incorporate further overnight.
  4. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  5. In the morning, remove from the fridge and stir well — the chia seeds will have thickened the mixture significantly.
  6. If the texture is thicker than you prefer, add a splash of milk and stir to loosen.
  7. Top with sliced almonds and an extra drizzle of honey if using.
  8. Eat cold directly from the jar or transfer to a bowl.

Notes

Chia seeds have a high upfront cost per bag but an extremely low cost per serving — a tablespoon weighs only about 12 grams, meaning a 200g bag provides over 16 servings at minimal per-recipe cost. They keep indefinitely in a sealed container. Almond butter bought in the largest available jar drops the per-tablespoon cost significantly. Greek yogurt in a large tub used across multiple breakfast recipes throughout the week is always the most economical approach to hitting high protein targets without spending significantly on individual portions.
