Notes

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 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

*Nutrition information does not include toppings and will vary based on type of protein powder and milk used.
