Ingredients

1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup eggnog OR 1/2 cup eggnog + 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder optional
1 teaspoon chia seeds
sprinkle of cinnamon
freshly grated nutmeg for topping
1-2 Tablespoons pomegranate arils

Instructions

Mix ingredients: Combine oats, eggnog, protein powder (if using), chia seeds and cinnamon in small container and seal with a lid.
Refrigerate: Place in the fridge overnight.
Serve: Bring out of the fridge in the morning and stir. You'll notice that the oats and protein powder soak up a lot of the liquid so you may want to add a little more eggnog or milk before serving. Top oats with pomegranate arils and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg and enjoy.

Notes

eggnog – for the eggnog, you can use whatever type of eggnog you have on hand. I've made it with homemade dairy-free eggnog and store-bought vegan coconut milk eggnog.

vanilla protein powder – I like adding vanilla protein powder for a little extra protein. If you don't do protein powder you can leave this out or add in 1/4 cup yogurt for extra protein.

milk – no eggnog? No problem. Just use 3/4 cup of almond milk and add in 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon rum extract (optional).
