In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, your choice of milk, protein powder, chia seeds, pure maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Stir vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are well blended.
Grab three clean jars or airtight containers and divide the mixture evenly among them, filling to about three-quarters full.

When ready to enjoy, remove a jar from the fridge, stir well, and add your favorite toppings.
