Equipment

Ingredients

¼ cup old-fashioned oats
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
¼ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

In a wide-mouth pint-sized mason jar or other storage container, add all of the ingredients.
Seal the lid on the container, then stir (or shake) until all the ingredients are evenly combined. Let overnight oats sit for 5 minutes, then shake again (this step is KEY for the oats and seeds not clumping together and settling on the bottom).
Place in the fridge overnight, or at least 4 hours.
In the morning, give your oats a quick stir, add any desired toppings, and enjoy!

Notes

Nutrition information calculated using nonfat, plain Greek yogurt and Optimum Nutrition Double Rich Chocolate Protein Powder and does not include toppings.

You may need a little more or less milk based on your protein powder (some can make the overnight oats thicker than others) and based on how thick you prefer your overnight oats.

*For a vanilla option, use a vanilla protein powder, omit the cocoa powder, and add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and any additional desired flavorings, like cinnamon.
