Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 ¼ – 2½ cups vanilla or unflavored almond milk (or preferred milk)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla) (sub with higher protein plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free option)
- 3 tablespoons Instant Jell-O Pistachio Pudding Mix
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 scoops vanilla or unflavored protein powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey (or more, to taste)
Toppings (Optional)
- Crushed pistachios
- Whipped cream
- Sliced bananas
- Mixed berries
- Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all base ingredients — rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, pistachio pudding mix, chia seeds, protein powder, and honey — to a large airtight container or bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-combined to ensure even flavor and texture.
- Refrigerate: Seal the container with a lid and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken, creating a creamy pudding-like consistency.
- Serve and Garnish: After refrigeration, divide the pudding into three bowls or jars for convenient, grab-and-go portions. Top each serving with your choice of crushed pistachios, fresh sliced bananas (best added on the day of consumption), whipped cream, dark chocolate chips, or mixed berries. Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt for a dairy-free version.
- The amount of almond milk can be adjusted to reach your desired consistency.
- Honey can be increased or replaced with another sweetener to taste.
- Add fresh fruit toppings just before eating for best texture and flavor.
- Protein powder is optional but enhances the protein content significantly.
- Store refrigerated and consume within 5 days for optimum freshness.
