Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Rolled oats (Old Fashioned)
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) Chocolate whey or casein protein powder
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 1/2 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt (plain)
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon Maple syrup or stevia (optional)
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Grab a mason jar or a small glass container with a lid. Add the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Use a spoon to stir these dry ingredients together until the protein powder is evenly distributed. This prevents “clumps” of powder from forming once you add the liquid.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Pour in the Greek yogurt, almond milk, and your sweetener of choice if you prefer extra sweetness. Stir vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth and no dry pockets of oats remain at the bottom of the jar. The mixture should look like a thick batter at this stage.
- Chill and Set: Seal the jar tightly with its lid and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, though overnight is best. During this time, the oats and chia seeds soak up the liquid, creating a thick, pudding-like consistency. In the morning, give it one quick stir, add your favorite toppings like berries or nut butter, and enjoy cold.
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
