Instructions

Add all ingredients to a bowl and stir until smooth. Start with about 60 ml (1/4 cup) milk and adjust with more in case the mixture is too thick. This depends both on the consistency of your Greek yogurt, and on whether you use protein powder. Keep in mind that the oats will soak and absorb most of the milk.
After stirring well, seal the bowl with a lid or with food wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Ideally, prepare your protein bowl the day before and leave in the fridge overnight.
When you are ready to eat, remove from the fridge and give it a good stir. If the Greek yogurt oatmeal is too thick, restore the desired consistency with more milk. Serve with your favorite toppings, such as slices of banana, blueberries, nuts, seeds and cocoa nibs.

Notes

The quantity of milk in this recipe may vary based on two factors:

Texture of Greek yogurt. Greek yogurts are not all the same; some products come with a thicker texture than others and your oats will need more milk.
Use of protein powder. Adding protein powder will make your yogurt oats denser and you'll probably need to adjust with more milk.

Nutritional values are provided for the recipe without additional protein powder and toppings. If using protein powder, this breakfast bowl will provide about 25 grams of additional protein.
