Sam's Kitchen Favorites

• For this recipe, I used these 10 ounce overnight oat jars with lids.

• I love these silicone mixing spoons. No more scraping the bowl, and the food doesn't stick to them!

• My go-to angled liquid measuring cup . After multiple runs through the dishwasher, the numbers have not worn off.

• For permanently engraved measurements,these measuring cups are fantastic!

• For a more professional yet affordable mixing bowl, these stackable bowls with measurements marks work perfectly.

Helpful Tips

• Blend the pistachio yogurt layer. Mix the Silk yogurt and pistachio cream thoroughly for a smooth, creamy layer. If the pistachio cream is thick, stir it well before measuring.

• Taste before adding sweetener. Chocolate protein powder and pistachio cream can already provide sweetness, so taste your mixture before adding any extra sweetener.

• Dairy-free option: Use Silk yogurt instead, you can also make a homemade jam instead of a yogurt layer.

• Consider adding a mashed banana: To the chocolate oat layer for a creamier texture.

• What type of oats are best? I prefer rolled oats, but quick oats may be used as well for a softer consistency. Avoid using steel-cut oats, they will remain firm and chewy without cooking.
