Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Fruity Pebbles (or cereal of choice) Adds sweetness and nostalgic flavor; feel free to swap for your favorite cereal variety!
  • 1 cup Milk Consider almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats For chewier bite, use steel-cut oats with longer soaking time.
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt Switch to non-dairy yogurt for a vegan alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds Offers texture and thickening, packed with omega-3s.
For Flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Opt for pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup (or honey) Agave syrup works well for a lower-calorie option.
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder Use any protein powder or omit for non-protein version.

Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • fine-mesh strainer
  • Mixing bowl
  • plastic wrap
  • airtight container

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Infuse the Cereal Milk: In a medium bowl, combine your Fruity Pebbles (or cereal of choice) with milk. Stir gently and let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  2. Strain the Cereal Milk: After 30 minutes, retrieve the bowl from the refrigerator. Using a fine-mesh strainer, carefully pour the cereal mixture to separate the milk from the cereal.
  3. Combine the Oats and Mix-ins: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the strained cereal milk with rolled oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  4. Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, stir the oats and spoon into serving bowls or jars, adding fresh fruit or a sprinkle of cereal on top. Serve chilled.
