Method

  1. 1

    Tear the four pitted dates into small pieces.

  2. 2

    Add the dates to a bowl with 2 tablespoons of boiling water and let soak until the water is absorbed.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Dates have absorbed the soaking water.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup skyr yogurt, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

  4. 4

    Mix the oat mixture well.

  5. 5

    Mash the soaked dates with a fork to create a syrupy paste, adding any remaining water.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Dates form a syrupy paste. Use any remaining soaking water to loosen the paste.

  6. 6

    Fold the date paste into the oat mixture and stir until fully incorporated.

  7. 7

    Divide the mixture evenly into two glass jars or containers.

  8. 8

    Seal the jars and refrigerate overnight to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Oats have softened after chilling.

  9. 9

    In the morning, stir the oats and top with a spoonful of date paste or a drizzle of honey if desired.

  10. 10

    Serve chilled or at room temperature.
