Ingredient substitutions

Rolled oat

Chia seed: Creates more of a chia pudding texture and reduces the oat character.

Protein powder

Greek yogurt: Keeps the bowl creamy but lowers the protein density and softens the vanilla flavor.

Greek yogurt

Milk: Makes the oats looser and less tangy.

Milk

Water: Reduces creaminess but still hydrates the oats.

Chia seed

Rolled oat: Keeps the breakfast oat based but makes the texture less gelled.

Honey

Sugar: Sweetens cleanly but removes the floral honey note.
