Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (choose vanilla for sweetness or plain for a tart flavor)

1/2 cup rolled oats (old-fashioned for best texture)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder (your favorite brand)

1 cup milk (use dairy or your preferred non-dairy alternative)

1 ripe banana, sliced into thin rounds

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust based on your desired sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for extra flavor)

A pinch of cinnamon (optional, for warmth)

Chopped nuts or seeds (such as almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds) for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon. Using a whisk or spoon, stir vigorously until all ingredients are fully blended into a creamy, smooth mixture.

    Layer the Jars: Take a clean mason jar or a medium-sized glass. Begin layering the ingredients by spooning a generous layer of the yogurt mixture at the bottom.

      Add Fruits: On top of the yogurt layer, arrange a layer of the sliced banana followed by a layer of the diced strawberries, ensuring even distribution for flavor in every bite.

        Repeat the Process: Continue layering—adding more of the yogurt mixture, followed by banana slices and strawberry chunks—until you approach the top of the jar. Aim for two to three layers, depending on the capacity of your jar.

          Chill Overnight: Once fully layered, secure the jar with a lid or cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Place the jar in the refrigerator overnight. This step allows the oats to soften and the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Serve and Enjoy: When you're ready to indulge, remove the jar from the fridge and give it a good stir to combine all the layers. For an extra burst of flavor and nutrition, top with additional banana slices, strawberry pieces, and a sprinkle of your choice of chopped nuts or seeds.

              Delight in Every Bite: Enjoy your Strawberry-Banana Overnight Protein Jar as a nourishing breakfast or a satisfying snack anytime!
