Why this works on GLP-1
A cold no-cook jar removes friction on low-appetite mornings. The 1-cup volume fits a shrunken stomach without triggering early fullness, while 28g protein in that small portion protects lean mass during rapid weight loss. Chia and oats add soluble fiber to ease GLP-1 constipation, and the 4-day batch covers nausea days.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (0% Fage or Chobani)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 scoop (25-30g) vanilla whey or plant protein powder
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp pure maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/3 cup fresh blueberries or sliced strawberries
- 1 tbsp chopped walnuts or sliced almonds
Steps
- Grab a 16oz wide-mouth mason jar or any lidded container that holds about 2 cups.
- Add oats, chia, protein powder, and cinnamon to the jar and stir dry ingredients first to prevent protein clumping.
- Pour in almond milk and maple syrup, then stir hard for 30 seconds until the protein powder fully dissolves into a thin slurry.
- Spoon Greek yogurt and vanilla on top, then fold gently with a butter knife to ribbon the yogurt through without overmixing.
- Seal the jar and refrigerate at least 6 hours or up to 4 days for batch prep.
- Before eating, top with berries and nuts so they stay crunchy and the fruit does not bleed color into the oats.
