Ingredients
Scale
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder (whey or plant-based)
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or dairy milk for higher protein)
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
1/4 cup mango puree (fresh or frozen/thawed)
1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
1 teaspoon maple syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)
Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a jar or container with a lid, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well.
Add the almond milk, Greek yogurt, mango puree, and maple syrup (if using) to the jar.
Stir all ingredients together until they are fully combined and no dry pockets of protein powder remain.
Stir in the shredded coconut.
Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
In the morning, check the consistency. If it is too thick, add a splash more milk.
Serve cold directly from the jar. Top with fresh mango chunks or toasted coconut flakes before eating.
Notes
For a vegan option, use a plant-based protein powder and coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
To boost the protein further, stir in 1 tablespoon of hemp hearts before refrigerating.
If you prefer a thicker texture, use only 1/3 cup of milk initially.
This recipe keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
