The Key Move
Ensure the milk and protein powder are completely smooth before adding other ingredients; lumps will ruin the texture of the overnight oats.

The Mise en Place
5 of 8Your prep station before cooking begins
My oats have little powdery lumps in them.
Ah, that's usually because the protein powder and milk weren't whisked together until perfectly smooth before adding the rest.
My oats are super thick, almost like glue, not creamy at all.
Sounds like it might be a bit too much chia or not quite enough liquid.
Chef's Notes
Stir well before eating to ensure uniform texture and flavor distribution.
Top with fresh berries, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor and texture.
Prepare up to 3 days in advance and store in individual airtight containers in the refrigerator.
