Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (45g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup (120ml) cold brew coffee, unsweetened
- ½ cup (120ml) milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut milk)
- 1 scoop (about 30g) chocolate protein powder
- ¼ cup (60g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup rolled oats, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to evenly distribute.
- Add ½ cup cold brew coffee, ½ cup milk of choice, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until combined.
- Spoon the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container, leaving some room at the top. Seal tightly.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and chia seeds to thicken the mixture.
- Before eating, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk or cold brew if too thick. Top with optional toppings like sliced bananas, nuts, or cacao nibs.
Notes
Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Stir dry ingredients before adding liquids to prevent clumping. Adjust sweetness with maple syrup or honey to taste. Can be warmed gently in microwave for 20-30 seconds with added milk or cold brew if preferred warm.
