Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup grated carrots (1 large carrot)
- 1/2 cup almond milk or dairy milk
- 1/2 scoop (15g) vanilla protein powder (optional)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)
- Optional toppings: shredded coconut, raisins, or nuts
Instructions
- If you’re using protein powder, combine the protein powder with the milk first to ensure the protein powder dissolves completely.
- In a jar or airtight container, combine rolled oats, grated carrots, milk (with protein powder, if using), Greek yogurt, cinnamon, vanilla extract, salt, and sweetener.
- Stir the ingredients until well combined.
- Cover the jar or container with a lid and refrigerate overnight — or for at least 4 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften.
- In the morning, give the mixture a good stir. If it’s too thick, you can add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Top the oats with chopped nuts and any optional toppings you like.
