Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (45g)
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (12g)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (12g)
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice (180ml)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (60g)
  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (15-30ml), to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (2.5ml)
  • 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder (1g, optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (10g, optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and espresso powder (if using). Whisk until smooth and well combined. Use a blender or stick blender if your protein powder clumps.
  2. Add rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir thoroughly until all dry ingredients are moistened and cocoa is fully incorporated.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness or chocolate intensity as desired.
  4. Spoon the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container (12–16 oz). Level the top and add mini chocolate chips if desired.
  5. Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. In the morning, stir well. If too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, let sit another 15–20 minutes.
  7. Top with extra chocolate chips, peanut butter, or cocoa powder if desired. Enjoy straight from the jar!

Notes

For gluten-free, use certified GF oats. For vegan, use plant-based protein, non-dairy milk, and non-dairy yogurt. Adjust sweetness after chilling for best results. Add-ins like peanut butter, berries, or nuts are delicious. Oats thicken as they sit; add milk before serving if needed. Store in fridge up to 4 days or freeze and thaw overnight.
