Notes
- Use a protein powder you enjoy for best flavor and dissolve well to avoid clumps.
- Measure ingredients accurately and stir thoroughly to combine protein powder and prevent lumps.
- Customize with toppings and flavors such as fresh fruit, nut butters, or spices to vary the oats.
- Greek yogurt contributes creaminess and protein; dairy-free yogurt can be substituted to keep it vegan.
