Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup 2% Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup pasteurized liquid egg whites (the kind in the carton)
  • 2 tablespoon milk/non-dairy alternative of choice
  • 2 teaspoon maple syrup, honey, or agave
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (see notes if omiting)

Instructions

  • Add cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, egg whites, milk, sweetener, vanilla, and salt to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
  • Divide oats and chia seeds between two jars. Pour half the liquid mixture into one jar and half into the other. Stir to combine. Alternatively, you can stir together all dry and wet ingredients in medium bowl and then divide the mixture between two jars.
  • Cover the jars and chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • In the morning, top oats with berries or other desired toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  • Be sure to use egg whites that are labeled "pasteurized." This means they have been gently heated to get rid of any harmful bacteria and can be eaten raw.
  • If omitting chia seeds from oats, reduce the milk in the recipe to 1 Tbsp.
  • Once packed into airtight containers, the oats should keep fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Feel free to double or triple the recipe if desired.
