Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

Flavor and Protein

  • 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder

Sweetener

  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey, or sugar-free sweetener of choice

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add rolled oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, milk, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and your chosen sweetener into a small bowl, mason jar, or any single-serve container with a lid. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
  2. Refrigerate: Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to soak and thicken for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to let the oats and chia seeds absorb the liquid and flavors.
  3. Serve and Garnish: Before serving, stir the overnight oats one more time to ensure an even consistency. Top with your favorite additions such as fresh berries, chocolate chips, peanut butter, or chopped nuts to enhance texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk, including almond, soy, or regular dairy milk, based on preference.
  • Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the maple syrup, honey, or sweetener.
  • For a thicker texture, use less milk or add more chia seeds.
  • Protein powder options vary; ensure your choice complements the chocolate flavor.
  • Overnight oats can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Experiment with toppings for variety, such as coconut flakes, banana slices, or a dollop of nut butter.
