Start by gathering all your ingredients together. You don't want to be searching for something once you’re in creation mode. Keeping everything organized makes the process smoother.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, and ground cinnamon. Mix well. This step prepares the foundation for your oats.
Now, add the almond beverage, fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and cream cheese. Stir vigorously until everything is well combined. You want a smooth mixture, without lumps of cream cheese.
Taste your mixture. This is your chance! Adjust sweetness by adding a bit more maple syrup if desired. If you want a stronger lemon flavor, throw in a touch more lemon juice or zest.
Divide the mixture evenly into your storage jars. I love using mason jars for this purpose. They seal well and make it easy to transport if you’re on the go.
Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and place them in the fridge. Let them chill overnight. This step allows the oats to soak up the flavors and soften.
In the morning, top your oats with white chocolate morsels and toasted coconut flakes. If you like, add some fresh berries or nuts for a touch of color and crunch.
