# What You'll 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 (approximately 30 grams) 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)
11 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Toppings (optional)
12 - Sliced banana
13 - Toasted coconut flakes
14 - Chopped nuts, such as pecans or almonds
15 - Pinch of additional cinnamon or nutmeg
# How-To Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl or large jar, mix the oats, eggnog, Greek yogurt, milk, and chia seeds until well combined.
02 - Add the vanilla protein powder, matcha powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, optional maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
03 - Cover the container and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb liquids and thicken.
04 - The following morning, stir the mixture well. If it appears too thick, add a small amount of milk to achieve the desired texture.
05 - Divide the chilled oats evenly between two bowls or jars. Garnish with banana slices, toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, and a pinch of extra cinnamon or nutmeg as preferred. Serve chilled.
