Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole oats
  • 3/4 cup unsweetend almond milk or your milk of choice
  • 28 g chocolate whey isolate protein powder your favorite brand.
  • 2 tsp cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp real maple syrup optional *I did include it in the nutrition info
  • 1 pinch salt

Optional Toppings - fresh berries, nuts, seeds, peanut butter (or another nut butter), sliced bananas, coconut, etc.

Instructions

  • Pour oats into a mason jar (or similar container) and set aside.
  • In a shaker jar (or blender on low speed), combine milk, whey protein, cocoa powder, vanilla, maple syrup, and salt.
  • Blend until smooth and pour over the oats.
  • Stir, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Top with fresh berries or toppings of choice.

Notes

  • You can adjust how sweet your oats are by adding more or less sweetener.
  • Chia seeds help thicken the protein powder base while adding fiber and nutrients. Feel free to add a teaspoon of chia seeds, or ground flaxseed, for the added nutrition.
  • It's important to use a good-quality whey protein isolate that dissolves well when mixed, tastes great and you actually enjoy. I have used Earth Fed Muscle and Legion Whey+ with great results.
  • Add any soft fruits and toppings right before serving so they don't get mushy overnight.
