Black Forest Overnight Oats are ultra fudgy and taste decadent, despite being a balanced way to start the day. These chocolate cherry overnight oats pack 40 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber per serving! They're great for meal prep, too!
optional garnishes: whipped cream, mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Combine all the ingredients except the cherries into a small bowl or mason jar. Stir until evenly combined.
1/4 cup old-fashioned oats, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
Let mixture set for 5 minutes then stir again. This step helps prevent the oats and seeds from settling at the bottom of the jar. If you want to mix your cherries in, stir in now. If you prefer to layer your overnight oats, add half the oats mixture to a small jar, then half the cherries, then the other half of the oats, and the other half of the cherries.
1/2 cup chopped cherries
Cover the container and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours to set.
When ready to serve, garnish with a small dollop of whipped cream and a few mini chocolate chips, if desired. Enjoy!
