Equipment

  • 2 Mason jars or small bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats for gluten-free go with certified GF oats
  • 2 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 2 teaspoon ground flaxseed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 30 grams vanilla whey protein powder *see notes for suggestions
  • 1 tablespoon real maple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
  • 5.3 oz vanilla Greek yogurt *I use the Oikos Pro for nutrition info
  • ½ teaspoon cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  • Divide the oats, chia seeds, ground flax, and salt between two jars or small bowls and set aside.
  • Mix the espresso powder, vanilla whey protein, maple syrup, and almond milk in a shaker bottle. Shake well until blended and divide evenly between the two containers. Stir well with a spoon, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • In the morning, divide the Greek yogurt between the two jars. Smooth out the yogurt with a spoon, dust the top with cocoa powder, and enjoy.

Notes

  • Not a fan of Greek yogurt? Though not as high in protein, you can use whipped cream cheese, ricotta cheese, or whipped cottage cheese instead of Greek yogurt. Just be sure to whip it until it is smooth and creamy beforehand for a spreadable texture. You'll need to add sweetener to these options and adjust to taste.
  • Pick the perfect whey protein. Opt for high-quality vanilla-flavored whey protein powder brands, such as Puori Bourbon Vanilla Flavored Whey Protein Powder, Legion Whey + Vanilla Whey Protein Isolate Powder, or Earth Fed Muscle’s Vanilla Whey. These favorites are all third-party tested for purity and personally tested for deliciousness in recipes.  
  • Adjust consistency. In the morning, if your tiramisu protein overnight oats are too thick, simply stir in a splash of milk until you reach the perfect smooth and creamy consistency.
