Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1 scoop vanilla protein powder

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 ripe banana, sliced

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Chopped nuts or seeds for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and smooth.

    In a mason jar or a medium-sized glass, begin layering the ingredients. Start with a few spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture at the bottom.

      Add a layer of sliced bananas and a layer of diced strawberries on top of the yogurt mixture.

        Repeat the layering process until you reach the top of the jar, finishing with the yogurt mixture. Aim for about two to three layers, depending on the size of your jar.

          Seal the jar with a lid or cover it with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator overnight to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld together.

            When ready to serve, give the jar a good stir to mix everything up. Top with additional slices of bananas, strawberries, and a sprinkle of chopped nuts or seeds for added crunch and nutrition if desired.

              Enjoy your Strawberry-Banana Overnight Protein Jar for a nutritious breakfast or snack!
