Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base Mixture
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, 2% or 0%)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, oat, almond, etc.)
  • 2-3 tbsp maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
Optional Add-ins
  • 1-2 tbsp seeds or flaxseed adds protein and fiber
  • ½ cup fresh or frozen berries
  • 2-3 tbsp nuts or nut butter for extra protein and healthy fat
  • 1 scoop protein powder if you want to boost protein further

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract in a large Tupperware and mix until combined.
  2. Add in the oats, salt, and cinnamon and whisk to combine again.
  3. Stir in protein powder or chia seeds if using.
  4. Fold in berries, nuts, or nut butter as desired.
  5. Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6–8 hours (or overnight).
  6. Stir before eating and top with extra fruit, nut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

Store in an airtight container or individual jars for up to 4–5 days in the refrigerator. Adjust milk for thickness: less for spoonable oatmeal, more for pourable parfaits.
