Calories 372kcal
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
- 5.3 oz plain Greek yogurt *you can also use Oikos Pro vanilla Greek yogurt with 20 grams of protein for an added boost
- 1/2 medium-size carrot very finely grated
- 1 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup I use Walden Farms or 1-2 packets of stevia. You can also use real maple syrup or honey.
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp golden raisins
- 1 tbsp raw walnuts
- 1/4-1/2 tsp cinnamon
- dash nutmeg
- dash ginger
Instructions
- Stir all ingredients together and pour into a container for serving.
- I love to use Mason jars, they are cute and are the perfect size for this recipe
- Optional: top with a little whipped cream cheese or whipped cream, a drizzle of real maple syrup, and a few walnuts before serving.
Notes
*You can adjust the sweetness of the oats to your taste preference by adding more sugar-free or regular maple syrup. You can also use vanilla Greek yogurt instead of plain for the base. I love the Oikos Pro yogurt for an added boost.
*For protein oats without Greek yogurt, mix a scoop of your favorite protein powder with 3/4- 1 cup of milk (regular or nut milk) in a shaker with 1-2 tsp of chia seeds and add to the oats with the remaining ingredients.
*Chia seeds are great for an extra fiber and nutrition boost. You can also add a tsp of chia seeds to the Greek yogurt recipe version.
