Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 scoops (50 grams) protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 2 Tablespoons dark chocolate chips (Lily’s or similar)
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped walnuts
  • 1 Tablespoon peanut butter (optional)

Equipment

  • mixing bowl or jar
  • Spoon or whisk
  • airtight containers or jars
  • measuring spoons and cups
  • refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Add oats, protein powder, almond milk, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla and sea salt into a bowl or jar. Stir well to combine, until all the protein powder has dissolved.
  2. Seal container with a lid and place in the fridge overnight.
  3. Take the container out of the fridge the next morning and stir the mixture. You'll notice that the oats soak up a lot of the liquid so you may want to add a little more almond milk before serving.
  4. Portion overnight oats into two containers, top each with chocolate chips, chopped walnuts and peanut butter, if using. Enjoy.

Notes

To keep it vegan and gluten-free, make sure to use gluten-free oats, plant-based protein powder, and dairy-free chocolate chips. Add a splash more almond milk before serving if needed — the oats will absorb liquid overnight.
