Ingredients

Oats Mixture:

½ cup oats
½ cup unsweetened almond milk or your choice of milk
1½ tsp chia seeds
2 tbsp vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
¼ tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp maple syrup

Cheesecake Topping:

⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp whipped cream cheese softened
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp lemon juice additional

Toppings:

graham crackers crushed
white chocolate chips few
lemon zest additional, optional

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix together oats, milk, chia seeds, vanilla protein powder, 1 tbsp lemon juice, ¼ tsp lemon zest, and maple syrup. Stir well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
While the oats are setting, prepare the topping by combining Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, maple syrup, and an additional tablespoon of lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
Once the oats have thickened, if not already in a serving jar, transfer them to one. Layer the cheesecake topping over the oats. Cover and let set in the refrigerator overnight.
Just before serving, garnish the top with crushed graham crackers and white chocolate chips. Optionally, add a sprinkle of lemon zest.

Notes

If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the liquid or let the oats sit longer.

If you want them a bit creamier, add extra yogurt or a splash of milk in the morning.

The oats might settle overnight, so give them a good stir in the morning to ensure everything is evenly mixed and you get that creamy texture.
