Servings: 1
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut milk I used Califia Farms
- 1 shot (1 oz) cooled espresso or 2 Tablespoons cold brew
- 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder I used Truvani whey
- ½ Tablespoon chia seeds or basil seeds
- ½ Tablespoon brown sugar plus more for topping
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch sea salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a mason jar or airtight container. Stir really well until the protein powder is fully incorporated and there are no clumps remaining.½ cup old fashioned rolled oats, ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut milk, 1 shot (1 oz) cooled espresso, 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder, ½ Tablespoon chia seeds or basil seeds, ½ Tablespoon brown sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, Pinch sea salt
- Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- When ready to eat, give everything a good stir. If the oats are thicker than you like, add a splash of milk to loosen things up.
- Enjoy straight from the jar or pour into a bowl. Top with an extra sprinkle of brown sugar, a dash of cinnamon or toppings of choice.
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. The oats will thicken as they sit, so stir in a splash of milk before serving if needed.
- Meal prep: Double or triple the recipe and portion into individual jars for an easy grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.
- Coconut milk: I used unsweetened coconut milk from a carton, but canned coconut milk works too. If using canned, opt for lite since full-fat will make the oats much thicker.
- Protein powder: Whey protein mixes in smoothly, while plant-based protein absorbs more liquid. If using plant-based, you may need to add extra milk to reach your desired consistency.
