Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats old-fashioned oats work best for texture
  • 1 scoop cookies and cream flavored protein powder approximately 30g
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or your preferred milk
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or dairy-free alternative
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sweetener maple syrup, honey, or agave, adjust to taste (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4-5 crushed Oreos or your favorite chocolate sandwich cookies, for topping and mixing

Equipment

  • Medium-sized jar or container with a lid
  • Refrigerator
  • Microwave-safe bowl (optional, for reheating)

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized jar or container with a lid, add the rolled oats, cookies and cream protein powder, and chia seeds. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the protein powder is evenly distributed and doesn't clump.
    1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 scoop cookies and cream flavored protein powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  2. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk and Greek yogurt. If you prefer a sweeter oats, now is the time to add your chosen sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or agave) and the vanilla extract.
    1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon sweetener, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  3. Stir vigorously until all the ingredients are well combined and there are no pockets of dry protein powder or chia seeds. Ensure the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  4. If you want a more integrated cookie flavor throughout the oats, reserve about half of your crushed Oreos and stir them into the oat mixture at this stage. This will create little pockets of cookie goodness within the creamy base.

  5. Securely place the lid on your jar or container. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally, overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid, creating a thick, pudding-like consistency.
  6. In the morning, remove the oats from the refrigerator. Give them a good stir. Top with the remaining crushed Oreos, or any other desired toppings like fresh berries, a dollop of extra yogurt, or a drizzle of almond butter.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Can be frozen for up to 1 month, but texture may change. Reheat gently if preferred warm.
