Ingredients
  

Dry Mix (per jar)

  • ½ cup quick oats
  • ½ scoop vanilla whey or whey isolate protein powder
  • 1 tbsp collagen peptides optional
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • pinch salt
  • pinch cinnamon

Wet Add-ins (prep day — optional)

  • 1 tbsp powdered peanut butter skip if you want ultra-easy digestion mornings
  • 1 tbsp maple sugar or coconut sugar

Let's Make It
 

  • Layer ingredients into jars (order don’t matter).

Morning Of Eating

  • Add to jar: ¾ cup boiling water OR hot milk (If you like thicker oats: use ⅔ cup or If you like thinner: use 1 cup)
  • You can use: hot water (fastest digestion), hot Fairlife milk (creamier + more protein), or half water + half milk (my favorite balance)
  • Stir well
  • Let sit 2 minutes
  • Top with: sliced banana, drizzle honey, or fruit of choice
  • Eat warm.
