Ingredients

2 tablespoons chia seeds
1/3 cup gluten-free rolled oats
1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (see note)
pinch of kosher salt
zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
1 cup milk of choice
1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, see note)

Directions

Add the chia seeds, oats, protein powder, salt, and lemon zest to a 10-12 ounce jar and mix well to distribute.
Pour in the lemon juice, milk, and maple syrup (if using) and mix again, ensuring no dry clumps are stuck at the bottom of the jar.
Cover the jar and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, then serve.

Notes

If you are not using a sweetened protein powder, I highly recommend adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup to each jar. Otherwise the oats will be too bitter.
