Ingredients
  

For the Oats
  • 1 cup Fruity Pebbles (or cereal of choice) Substitute with any preferred cereal for unique tastes.
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Avoid steel-cut oats for a soft texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds Adds fiber and thickens the oats.
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder Swap with any unflavored protein powder if desired.
For the Creaminess
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt (plain or vanilla, full-fat) Substitute with regular yogurt or plant-based alternative.
  • 1 cup Milk Use almond, soy, or oat milk for dairy-free.
For Flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Opt for pure vanilla for best taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup (or honey) Adjust to taste, use agave syrup for a vegan alternative.

Equipment

  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Airtight container

Method
 

Infusion and Preparation
  1. Begin by pouring your chosen cereal into a bowl and covering it with milk. Ensure the cereal is fully submerged and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. After 30 minutes, set up a fine-mesh strainer over another clean bowl and pour the cereal mixture through it to extract the cereal-infused milk.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the strained cereal milk with rolled oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until well mixed.
  4. Transfer the mixture into an airtight container or jars. Cover them and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  5. When ready to serve, stir gently and top with fresh fruits, extra cereal, or nuts before enjoying.
