Mix milk, protein powder and maple syrup together - I recommend using a blender or immersion blender to make sure the protein powder is evenly mixed in.
Mix in the oats and chia seeds. I like to let this sit on the counter for about 5 minutes and then give it a second stir.
Cover the container and place in the fridge for at least 8 hours - I usually do overnight.
Give it another stir before serving and top with your favorite fruit, nuts or nut butter.
