Instructions

Step 1 โ€“ Cook or Prepare Oats

In a small saucepan, combine oats and almond milk.
Cook over medium heat for 4โ€“5 minutes, stirring often, until creamy and thickened.
(For overnight oats: mix oats and milk in a jar and let sit in the fridge for 6โ€“8 hours.)


Step 2 โ€“ Mix the Creamy Base

Once oats are ready, stir in Greek yogurt and protein powder while still slightly warm.
This gives it that rich, pudding-like texture you see in the photo.


Step 3 โ€“ Add Blueberries

Gently fold in blueberries.
If using frozen ones, let them melt a little to create that natural swirl of purple color.


Step 4 โ€“ Serve

Spoon into a bowl.
Drizzle a touch of honey or maple syrup on top for sweetness if desired.
Sprinkle with shredded coconut or white chocolate shavings for texture and extra flavor.


Step 5 โ€“ Chill (Optional)

For a thicker, mousse-like consistency, refrigerate for 10โ€“15 minutes before serving.


Additional Notes

  • Protein Tip: Use a high-quality whey or plant-based protein powder for the best consistency โ€” vanilla or white-chocolate flavors work beautifully.
  • Vegan Option: Use coconut yogurt and plant-based protein powder.
  • Texture Tip: Stir a few extra tablespoons of milk if the mixture gets too thick.
  • Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of cinnamon, lemon zest, or a splash of vanilla extract.
