Total time: 5 minutes + 6 hours (or overnight) chill time
Serves: 1
Serving size: 1 ½ cups

Ingredients

• ½ cup rolled old fashioned oats
• 1 teaspoon chia seeds

• 2 ounces plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• ¼ cup fresh blueberries and raspberries

Instructions

Mix oats, chia seeds, peanut butter powder, and cinnamon together in an 8–10 ounce container or jar. Add almond milk and yogurt. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and shake well or stir to combine.

MOBE kitchen tip:

• To achieve the best texture, make sure you use rolled old fashioned oats in this recipe. Avoid using steel cut oats (your oats will be too chewy) or instant oats (they’ll be too runny).

Recipe notes:

• If you’re sensitive or allergic to gluten, use gluten-free rolled oats.
• Looking for more ways to use powdered peanut butter? Check out our Chocolate Peanut Butter Frozen Dessert.
• If you don’t have powdered peanut butter, you can substitute a regular peanut butter or almond butter. Or add a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an additional protein boost. Switch things up depending on your taste preferences.
• If you don’t have fresh blueberries and raspberries, try fresh strawberries and mashed banana. But keep in mind that this will increase the amount of carbohydrates in this breakfast.
• Add extra sweetness by drizzling with a small amount of honey or pure maple syrup.
• If you’d like to make a larger batch, you can easily double, triple, or quadruple this recipe.
