Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk or plant-based alternative
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder or 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (for Chocolate Pistachio variation)
  • 1/4 cup fresh berries or diced apples (for Fruity Fusion variation)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg (for Spiced Delight variation)
  • 1 scoop protein powder or 1 tablespoon nut butter (for Protein Power variation)

Instructions

  1. Combine Your Base Ingredients: In a clean jar or bowl, mix 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup milk or plant-based alternative, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup until well combined.
  2. Add the Pistachios and Flavorings: Stir in 1/4 cup chopped pistachios and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, making sure everything is evenly distributed for consistent taste.
  3. Optional Boosters: If desired, add 1 tablespoon chia seeds or any personalized ingredients like cocoa powder, spices, or fresh fruit, folding gently to maintain texture.
  4. Refrigerate Overnight: Seal your jar or cover your bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: In the morning, give your oats a quick stir, add any final toppings like extra pistachios, cinnamon, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey, and savor the creamy, crunchy goodness that makes your morning better.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture; avoid instant or steel-cut oats.
  • Chop pistachios fresh just before mixing to keep them crunchy.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by starting with less sweetener and adding more in the morning if desired.
  • Make multiple portions at once for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
  • Experiment with different liquids such as almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk to change flavor and consistency.
