Place all ingredients into a large glass container and mix until combined.

Uncover and enjoy directly from the container the next day. If desired, thin the mixture with a little more milk.
Notes
Protein Powder Flavor: Feel free to experiment with different flavors like chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry. If using unflavored protein powder, enhance it with a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolaty flavor.
Consistency: The oats will thicken as they absorb liquid. If too dense after chilling, simply add a splash of milk to adjust. For thicker oats from the start, reduce the initial amount of milk.
Storage: Store in tightly sealed glass containers to maintain freshness. If mixed with protein powder, consume within two days; without protein powder, the oats can last up to five days in the fridge.
Meal Prep Tip (extend storage): To store the oats for a longer time, add the protein powder to each serving just before eating instead of mixing it into the batch. This keeps the oats fresh for a longer time.
