2. Ingredients
- 50 g Rolled oats

- 120 g Greek yogurt
- 25 g Vanilla protein powder
- 15 g Walnuts
- 120 ml Milk

3. Instructions
5 StepsPeel a ripe spotted banana and place half of it in your mixing jar. Mash thoroughly with a fork until it forms a creamy banana puree.
Add the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and cinnamon to the mashed banana. Stir dry ingredients into the fruit base.
Pour in the milk and add the Greek yogurt. Stir patiently until completely blended into a smooth, thick batter with no dry powder pockets.
Cover the container and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight so the oats fully soften and thicken into pudding.
In the morning, slice the remaining banana into rounds and arrange on top. Scatter toasted walnut halves and a tiny pinch of sea salt, then serve.
