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.
