- Mix Thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until fully combined, ensuring the protein powder is well incorporated and no clumps remain.
- Refrigerate: Cover the jar or bowl tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soak and flavors to meld.
