Ingredients

Base Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats
2 cups skim milk or preferred milk, see notes
2 tablespoons chia seeds increase to 4 tbsp. with plant-based milk
2 tablespoons instant cheesecake pudding mix
1 scoop vanilla protein powder I used Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Ice Cream
Zest of 1/2 lemon plus juice, if preferred
Pinch of salt optional

Toppings {most are optional}

1 cup blueberries fresh or thawed from frozen
Crushed graham crackers
Whipped cream
Chopped nuts for crunch and texture
Lemon zest

Instructions

Add all the base ingredients to a medium or large bowl (that has an airtight lid).
Whisk the ingredients together until well combined.
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours in an airtight storage container.
Divide into two glasses or airtight storage containers.
Top with blueberries (at least 1/2 cup), whipped cream, crushed graham crackers, and more lemon zest if preferred. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days! Enjoy.

Notes

Instant pudding mix thickens best with regular cow’s milk since it contains casein, a milk protein that reacts with the pudding starches. Most plant-based milks (like almond, oat, or coconut) don’t have that protein, so your oats may turn out a bit thinner. This is why I suggest thickening the oats with 4 tablespoons of chia seeds (instead of 2).
The sweetness will vary depending on the taste of the protein powder used. Add honey or preferred sweetener per your preference.
Want a little more tang? Add 2-3 tablespoons of plain or vanilla Greek yogurt into the overnight oats! It adds some delicious creaminess, too!
