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) or 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: In a large airtight container or bowl, add the rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, Instant Jell-O Pistachio Pudding Mix, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), and honey. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Refrigerate: Seal the container or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and pudding mix, creating a thick, creamy texture.
- Serve and Store: Divide the pudding oats into three separate bowls or jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts. Add your preferred toppings such as crushed pistachios, sliced bananas (best added fresh on the day of eating), whipped cream, dark chocolate chips, or mixed berries. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Adjust honey amount based on your preferred sweetness; flavored yogurt and protein powder may add sweetness already.
- To increase protein without protein powder, substitute almond milk with higher protein milk such as Fairlife or skim milk.
- If using cow’s milk, the pudding will be thicker; add extra milk after refrigeration or increase the initial milk volume by ½ cup.
- Flavored yogurt or more pudding mix can be added to adjust flavor and texture as needed.
- Nutritional information excludes toppings and is calculated using non-fat Greek yogurt.
