Add mashed banana, oats, almond milk, protein powder and chia seeds into a bowl. Stir well to combine, until all the protein powder has dissolved. Divide oat mixture into two containers (I like using mason jars), seal with a lid and place in the fridge overnight.

Take one container out of the fridge the next morning and stir the mixture. You'll notice that the protein powder, oats and chia seeds soak up a lot of the liquid so you may want to add a little more almond milk before serving.
