Tips & Notes
- Soak the oats overnight so they blend silky smooth. Unsoaked oats leave the protein smoothie slightly gritty.
- Use oats with a gluten-free certification mark for the overnight protein smoothie, or leave them out and add an extra tablespoon of chia.
- Greek yogurt gives the smoothie its body and much of its protein, so powder is optional. Add it only if you like a thicker shake.
