Servings: 1
Ingredients
- ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 Tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- ½ Tablespoon chia seeds
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
- ¾ - 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice – use ¾ cup for whey, 1 cup for plant-based
- ½ Tablespoon cashew butter
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon mini chocolate chips I used Enjoy Life
Instructions
- In a mason jar or airtight container, stir together oats, protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon and salt. Add almond milk, cashew butter, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Stir in mini chocolate chips.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
- In the morning, give it a good stir. Add an extra splash of milk if needed and top with more chocolate chips or a drizzle of nut butter before serving.
Notes
- Protein powder: Both whey and plant-based protein powder work well. Plant-based protein absorbs more liquid, so you may need closer to 1 cup of milk.
- Meal prep: This recipe is great for meal prep. Double or triple the batch and portion into individual jars for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
- Storage: Store overnight oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4–5 days. Stir before serving and add a splash of milk if needed.
