02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (approximately 1 ounce)
05 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

# Method:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl or sealable jar, combine oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully incorporated and no dry oat pieces remain.
02 - Cover the container and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until the mixture achieves a thick and creamy consistency.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzle-able. Add additional milk gradually if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
04 - Before serving, stir the chilled oat mixture thoroughly. Divide into two bowls or serving jars.
05 - Generously drizzle the cream cheese mixture over the oats. Optionally sprinkle with additional ground cinnamon for enhanced flavor and presentation.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like indulgence but delivers serious protein to keep you satisfied until lunch.
  • Everything comes together in under 10 minutes of actual work, then the fridge does the heavy lifting.
02 -
  • Don't skip the stirring step before serving, the oats settle and separate overnight, but one good mix brings it all back together.
  • The drizzle is what transforms this from basic oats into something special, so don't rush it or skimp on the cream cheese.
03 -
  • Make your drizzle fresh each morning rather than mixing it ahead, it stays silky and doesn't separate overnight.
  • Soften your cream cheese for 10 minutes before whisking so it incorporates smoothly without lumps.
