Calories: 346kcal
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Old-fashioned oats, gluten-free if needed (35 g)
- 2 Tbsp Chia seeds (24 g)
- 1 tsp Black cocoa powder (5 g)
- 1 tsp Almond extract, or use vanilla (5 g)
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 c +2 Tbsp Silk cashew milk, or your favorite milk (150 g)
- 1/2 scoop Chocolate protein powder I used Active Stacks (15 g)
Optional Toppings (not included in macros)
- Powdered peanut butter (I do about 1 Tbsp.)
- Chopped strawberries
- Dairy-free whipped cream
- Pinch of cocoa nibs
Instructions
- In a jar or small pyrex, combine oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, almond extract, salt, protein powder, and milk.
- Combine well and pop in the fridge overnight, mixing once or twice in the process to make sure the chia seeds don’t get clumpy!
- Enjoy the next morning! If you like yours extra thick, use a little less milk. I like mine bigger haha.… so I stir in extra milk the next morning. I love to top with a tablespoon of powdered peanut butter, and stir in just barely so it leaves some peanut buttery chunks like I do with my shake! Don’t stir it all the way in!
- I love to finish with some fresh strawberries, dairy-free whipped cream, and a little pinch of cocoa nibs. Enjoy!
Notes
GF/DF: Yep! Just make sure to use gluten-free oats, and dairy-free protein powder and milk. My ALL-TIME favorite non-dairy protein is Active Stacks which is a beef protein powder.
