2. Ingredients
- 50 g Rolled oats

3. Instructions
5 StepsIn a breakfast bowl or jar, whisk together the rolled oats, chia seeds, and protein powder so the dry ingredients are uniformly blended.
Add the milk and thick Greek yogurt. Stir thoroughly with a spatula from bottom to top until the mixture is silky and thoroughly hydrated.
Take half of the blueberries and crush them lightly with a fork to release their indigo juice. Fold them into the oats for a marbled berry swirl.
Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours or overnight, letting the chia and oats swell into a thick, luxurious pudding.
Before eating, top with the remaining whole fresh blueberries and drizzle a generous spoonful of creamy almond butter over the top.
