Description
A delicious and nutritious breakfast recipe for Cereal Milk Overnight Oats, combining the nostalgic flavor of fruity pebbles infused milk with creamy oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, and protein powder. Perfect for a quick and satisfying start to your day.
Ingredients
Scale
Cereal Milk
- 1 cup fruity pebbles (or cereal of choice)
- 2 cups milk
Overnight Oats Mixture
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, full-fat)
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 4 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Infuse the Milk: In a bowl, combine the fruity pebbles cereal with 2 cups of milk. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the milk absorb the cereal flavor. Afterward, strain the milk through a fine-mesh strainer to remove cereal pieces, creating your cereal milk base.
- Mix Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, combine the strained cereal milk, rolled oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the bowl or divide the mixture into individual containers. Place them in the refrigerator and let the oats soak for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and soften.
- Serve and Enjoy: When ready to eat, give the oats a good stir. Top with your choice of chopped fruit, berries, or a sprinkle of additional cereal for extra crunch and flavor. Serve chilled and enjoy a nutritious, flavorful breakfast.
