Preparation Steps
  1. In a mixing bowl or large jar, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, unsweetened eggnog, Greek yogurt, milk, and chia seeds. Stir thoroughly until everything is well-mixed and smooth.
  2. Add the vanilla protein powder, matcha green tea powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and any sweetener if desired. Mix everything together until evenly combined.
  3. Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and thicken.
  4. The next morning, stir the oats well. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
  5. Serve your High-Protein Eggnog Matcha Oats in bowls, adding sliced banana, toasted coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or any additional spices for an extra festive touch.
