Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 ounce vanilla whey protein powder
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (nonfat)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 1 Honeycrisp apple (medium, cored and diced)
• 2 tablespoon walnuts (chopped)

Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup rolled oats, 2 ounces vanilla whey protein powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
2. Add 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until all protein powder is dissolved and no dry pockets remain.
3. Fold in half of the diced Honeycrisp apple.
4. Divide the oat mixture evenly between two airtight jars or bowls. Top each portion with the remaining diced Honeycrisp apple and 1 tablespoon of chopped walnuts.
5. Seal the containers and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until thick and creamy before serving chilled.

Notes

Store in sealed mason jars in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If the oats thicken too much overnight, stir in an extra splash of almond milk before eating.
