Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 large peach, pit removed and chopped
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Oats
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
Toppings (Optional)
- Chopped peaches
- Cinnamon
- Granola or chopped pecans or almonds
Instructions
- Blend the base: Add the chopped peach, milk, cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, ground cinnamon, flaky sea salt, chia seeds, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined.
- Add the oats: Pour the blended mixture into a jar or bowl. Stir in the old-fashioned rolled oats until they are fully incorporated into the creamy base.
- Chill: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, then refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight. This resting time allows the oats to absorb liquid and soften to a thick, creamy texture.
- Serve: Before eating, stir the oat mixture well to combine. Top with additional fresh chopped peaches, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and your choice of granola, chopped pecans, or almonds for added crunch and flavor. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Using cottage cheese or Greek yogurt adds protein and creaminess to the oats.
- Old-fashioned rolled oats are preferred for texture; quick oats may become too mushy.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup according to taste.
- Chia seeds help thicken and add omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
- Overnight soaking softens oats and improves digestibility.
- This recipe can be made vegan by substituting dairy milk and cottage cheese with plant-based alternatives.
