Instructions

Briskly whisk the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and protein powder together in a mixing bowl or large measuring cup.
Add the oats, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt. Whisk to completely combine.
Cover with plastic wrap (or seal the lid of the jar) and refrigerate for 8 hours or up to 5 days.
When ready to serve, stir once more, then transfer to a serving bowl. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, thin with a little extra almond milk. Sprinkle with any desired toppings and enjoy immediately.

Notes

TO STORE: Refrigerate overnight oats for up to 5 days.
TO FREEZE: Freeze leftovers in an airtight freezer-safe storage container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
