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) (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
- 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.
- 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.
- Portion and Serve: After refrigeration, divide the pudding into three bowls or jars for easy, grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
- 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.
- 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.
