Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats, use gluten-free as needed
  • 2 scoops chocolate protein powder*
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon coconut extract
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or nondairy milk of choice)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce**
  • 1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1-2 tablespoon(s) chia seeds (optional)
  • Optional toppings/additions: chopped almonds, shredded coconut, chocolate syrup, and/or stevia packets

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients together (except for toppings).
  • Divide mixture (1 cup each) between 2 bowls, mugs, or mason jars. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 2 hours) so the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
  • Just before serving, add a splash of milk, toppings and enjoy cold, or microwave for 30-60 seconds to enjoy warm!

Notes

*I used Nuzest protein powder, but feel free to use your favorite variety.
**You can substitute applesauce for yogurt, if desired.  
***Nutritional information will vary depending on protein powder used.
