  • Almond Milk, Unsweetened(420g)
  • Honey(23g)
  • Peanut Butter, Smooth(23g)
  • Oats, Rolled, Dry(240g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. 1In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, honey, and peanut butter until fully combined and smooth, about 2–3 minutes.
  2. 2Add the vanilla whey protein powder, ground cinnamon, and chia seeds to the wet mixture, stirring until no lumps remain and the powder is fully dissolved.
  3. 3Fold in the rolled oats and orange zest until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. 4Divide evenly into 4 airtight containers while the mixture is still at room temperature, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for slight expansion during refrigeration.
  5. 5Cover each container tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 5 days.
  6. 6When ready to serve, stir each portion thoroughly to recombine any separated liquid, adding a splash of almond milk if the oats have thickened too much.
  7. 7Top each serving with a portion of the roasted salted almonds and an additional drizzle of honey immediately before eating to keep nuts crisp and maintain texture.
