Overnight oats blended with eggnog, matcha, and protein for a creamy, nourishing breakfast.
# What You Need:
→ Base
01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened eggnog (dairy or plant-based)
03 - 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
04 - 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
05 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
→ Protein & Flavor
06 - 1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla protein powder
07 - 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
09 - 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
10 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, to taste)
11 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Toppings (optional)
12 - Sliced banana
13 - Toasted coconut flakes
14 - Chopped nuts (e.g., pecans or almonds)
15 - Pinch of extra cinnamon or nutmeg
# Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, mix oats, eggnog, Greek yogurt, milk, and chia seeds until well combined.
02 - Add protein powder, matcha powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup or honey if using, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until smooth and evenly blended.
03 - Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight to allow the mixture to thicken as oats and chia seeds absorb the liquid.
04 - In the morning, stir the oats well. If too thick, add a splash more milk to reach desired consistency.
05 - Portion into two bowls or jars. Garnish with banana slices, toasted coconut, chopped nuts, and a pinch of extra cinnamon or nutmeg as preferred. Serve chilled.
