The creamy nostalgia of Dominican avena rebuilt as a high-protein overnight jar. Certified gluten-free oats, evaporated milk, and vanilla protein powder layered with fresh papaya and a squeeze of lime. Make it the night before. Wake up ready.

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats certified gluten-free
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
4 scoops vanilla protein powder 80g protein total
2 teaspoon orange zest
2 teaspoon honey or maple syrup optional
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups cubed ripe papaya lechoza
2 limes - juice and peel for garnish
Cinnamon to garnish

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together almond milk, evaporated milk, protein powder, vanilla extract, honey, orange zest, and cinnamon until smooth.
Add the rolled oats and stir well. The mixture will look thin - it thickens significantly overnight.
Divide evenly between 4 jars or airtight containers.
Top each jar with ½ cup cubed papaya, a squeeze of fresh lime, and a small piece of lime peel.
Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
In the morning, stir and add a splash of almond milk if too thick. Dust with extra cinnamon and serve cold.
