Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (any kind, dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
- 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup
Toppings (Optional)
- 1 tbsp chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a jar or bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder until evenly distributed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk, then add the peanut butter and your choice of sweetener (honey or maple syrup). Stir thoroughly to ensure that all ingredients are well combined and the peanut butter is incorporated.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors to meld.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top for added texture and flavor. Stir if desired and enjoy chilled.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding more or less honey or maple syrup.
- For extra creaminess and protein, stir in some Greek yogurt before refrigerating.
- If peanut butter isn’t available, almond butter makes a great substitute with a slightly different flavor.
