Blueberry Protein Overnight Oats

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup nonfat milk
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tsp chia seeds
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 banana
1/4 cup fresh blueberries

Directions

In a jar or container with a lid, mix the rolled oats, nonfat milk, and Greek yogurt until thoroughly blended. Incorporate the peanut butter and chia seeds, stirring until evenly distributed; extra mixing may be needed for the peanut butter to combine smoothly. Add cinnamon to taste and stir again. Slice the banana and fold half into the oat mixture, saving the rest for the top.

Cover and chill overnight or for at least 4 to 6 hours so the oats and chia seeds can soften and absorb the liquids.

Before eating, stir the oats once more. Add the remaining banana slices and fresh blueberries. Enjoy cold.
