A rich and creamy breakfast that tastes like dessert but is packed with protein and fiber. These no-cook oats are prepared in minutes the night before, making them the perfect grab-and-go morning fuel.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup milk of choice (e.g., unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. In a 16-ounce jar or sealable container, combine the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, and chia seeds. Stir with a fork to break up any clumps.
  2. Pour in the milk, then add the maple syrup and vanilla extract.
  3. Stir everything together vigorously until no dry pockets of powder remain. The mixture will be liquid at this stage.
  4. Seal the jar tightly and place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
  5. The next morning, stir the oats. They should be thick and creamy. Add a splash more milk if desired, then add your favorite toppings and enjoy cold.

Notes

For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats. For vegan, use plant-based milk and protein powder and maple syrup. Do not use quick oats as they become mushy. Save fresh toppings like fruit and nuts for the morning to prevent sogginess.
