Combine the oats, protein powder, and chia seeds in a container like a mason jar or Tupperware.
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 scoop protein powder, ½ tablespoon chia seeds
Pour in the milk, yogurt, and maple syrup. Mix until well combined, making sure to stir up any chunks of protein powder that may be stuck on the bottom.
½ cup milk, ¼ cup non-fat greek yogurt, 1-2 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
Cover with a lid and place into the fridge overnight or for at least 5 hours.
Before eating, add extra add-ins for more flavor!

Flavors to try:

Strawberries & Cream- use vanilla protein powder when making the overnight oats. Also, swap out the honey in the recipe for 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Dice up a few strawberries and top with whipped cream or cool whip!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana- use chocolate protein powder when making the overnight oats. Add ½-1 tablespoon of peanut butter and some banana slices to your overnight oats. I like to sprinkle this kind with mini chocolate chips!
Peanut Butter & Jelly- use vanilla protein powder when making the overnight oats. Add in 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 1 tablespoon jam (I like raspberry), and sprinkle the top with roasted peanuts for extra crunch! You can use fresh berries if you prefer them over jam as well.

Other tips & tricks:

Use mason jars or other glass jars for easy storage.
Make a large batch of these, store in a large Tupperware container and then serve yourself some in the mornings if you don't want individual jars.
Use a protein powder you love. There are a lot of gross-tasting protein powders out there, which won't make your oats taste good. I find that whey proteins typically taste better than plant protein. You can also omit the protein powder.
Use any toppings you enjoy- nut butter, dried fruit, seeds, granola, fresh fruits, and spices (like cinnamon). These are super customizable which is why I love them so much!
