# Components:

→ Base

01 - 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
02 - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1 ripe avocado, pitted and halved
05 - 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
06 - 2 tablespoons chia seeds
07 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
08 - Zest and juice of 1 lime
09 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
10 - Pinch of salt

→ Toppings (Optional)

11 - Sliced fresh strawberries
12 - Toasted coconut flakes
13 - Extra lime zest
14 - Chopped pistachios

# Directions:

01 - In a blender or food processor, combine the halved avocado, Greek yogurt, almond milk, lime juice and zest, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Process until the mixture is exceptionally smooth and has a creamy consistency.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, and a pinch of salt. Ensure all components are evenly distributed.
03 - Pour the smoothly blended avocado mixture from Step 1 over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir diligently with a spoon or spatula until the wet and dry components are completely and uniformly incorporated.
04 - Divide the combined oat mixture evenly between two individual jars or airtight containers. Securely cover each container and place them in the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 6 hours, ideally overnight, to allow flavors to meld and oats to soften.
05 - In the morning, remove the overnight oats from refrigeration. Stir the mixture and add a small splash of milk, if necessary, to achieve the desired loose consistency. Artfully arrange your chosen toppings such as sliced strawberries, toasted coconut flakes, chopped pistachios, or additional lime zest. Present chilled.
