Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 ¼ cups vanilla or unflavored almond milk or preferred milk
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla) (sub with higher protein plant-based yogurt for 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 (adjust to taste after refrigeration)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Crushed pistachios
  • Whipped cream
  • Sliced bananas (best added on the day of consumption)
  • Mixed berries
  • Dark chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large airtight container or bowl, add rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, Instant Jell-O Pistachio Pudding Mix, chia seeds, protein powder (if using), and honey. Whisk everything thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Refrigerate: Seal the container tightly and refrigerate the mixture for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy pudding-like consistency.
  3. Portion and Serve: After refrigeration, divide the pudding into three bowls or jars for easy, grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
  4. Add Toppings: Just before eating, add your preferred toppings such as crushed pistachios, sliced bananas, dark chocolate chips, whipped cream, or mixed berries for added texture and flavor.
  5. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and texture.

Notes

  • Adjust honey quantity according to your sweetness preference. Flavored yogurt and vanilla protein powder contribute sweetness, so if omitted, more honey or a preferred sweetener may be necessary.
  • Without protein powder, the recipe contains around 20 grams of protein when pistachios are used as topping. For increased protein without powder, substitute almond milk with Fairlife or skim milk.
  • This recipe was tested with almond milk. Using cow’s milk will result in a thicker consistency; add more milk after refrigeration or increase milk by ½ cup during preparation.
  • Adjust flavor by modifying the amount of pudding mix or liquid as needed to achieve desired taste and texture.
  • Nutritional info calculated excluding numerous toppings and based on non-fat Chobani Greek yogurt.
