Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- ½ cup oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon chocolate protein powder (see notes for substitutions)
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup milk
- 3 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt (see notes for substitutions)
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
Toppings
- Chopped walnuts
- Fresh strawberries
- Unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a 10-oz jar, stir together oats, chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Add wet ingredients: Pour in the milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the oats mixture is fully combined and creamy. Then, fold in the chocolate chips if using.
- Chill: Cover the jar and place it in the fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the oats and chia seeds to soak and soften.
- Serve: In the morning, give the oats a good stir, then top with your choice of chopped walnuts, fresh strawberries, and unsweetened shredded coconut. Enjoy a hearty and nutritious breakfast!
Notes
- For a protein powder-free version, replace the protein powder with an additional ½ tablespoon cocoa powder and add 1 teaspoon extra maple syrup for sweetness.
- If you prefer to skip the Greek yogurt, increase the milk by 3 tablespoons. Note this will result in a thinner consistency.
