Ingredients for 4 servings:
4 pint jars, smallish pyrex/tupperware/ziploc containers, gelato containers, or whatever you have lying around, plus their lids
4 cups coconut or almond milk
4 scoops protein powder
1 cup steel cut oats, uncooked
1 cup fixings such as pomegranate seeds, goji berries, slivered almonds, etc. Be creative as the sky is the limit and you can tack on even more nutrition. I use powdered peanut butter in mine.

Directions:
|
1. Get your containers and their respective lids together. Let's all pause while the customary hunt for container lids ensues. You're not alone, this is all of us
|
|
2. Add your ingredients in ascending order from most to least amounts, so 1/4 cup oats per jar, then a scoop of protein powder, and so on
|
3. Add your fixings atop the more major ingredients. Here I used pomegranate seeds in a few and peanut butter powder in a few. I can't determine what I'll want first thing in the morning (besides a whole lot of coffee), so it's nice to have options
|
|
4. Add the milk on top and then stir everything together. It may take a minute to get the dry and somewhat chunky ingredients to play nicely together, so give yourself a minute to make it work. If the ingredients get really feisty, put the lids on the containers and shake them
|
|
|
5. Leave no chunky bits behind, unless you really want to lick them off the spoon, in which case go ahead
|
6. Screw the lids on and pop them in the fridge. The next morning - voila - steel cut oats ready to eat and ready to fuel you for a great day
