Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of gluten-free rolled oats, 1 cup of your favorite non-dairy milk, and 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt). Next, drizzle in 2 tablespoons of honey and add the juice of one freshly squeezed orange along with a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Finally, stir in 1 scoop of collagen peptides for that extra protein boost.
- Using a whisk or a spoon, mix everything together until you achieve a smooth and uniform consistency. Ensure there are no clumps of oats or yogurt. This should only take about 2-3 minutes.
- Now, for a nutritional punch, add 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds or flax seeds into the bowl. Gently fold the seeds into your mixture to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the mixture into individual airtight jars for easy portion control. Place the bowl or jars in the refrigerator and let the oats soak for at least 3 hours, or ideally overnight.
- In the morning, take your chilled Orange Vanilla Protein Overnight Oats out of the fridge. If the mixture is too thick, stir in a splash more of non-dairy milk to reach your desired consistency. Divide into serving bowls or jars, then garnish with fresh orange slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
