Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats (old-fashioned)
  • 1 scoop (approximately 30g) Chocolate Protein Powder (whey, plant-based, or your preferred type)
  • 2 tablespoons Peanut Butter (natural, unsweetened recommended) If using natural peanut butter, it might be quite thick; you can gently warm it for a few seconds in the microwave to make it easier to stir.
  • 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk (or your milk of choice) If the mixture is too thick for your liking in the morning, you can stir in a splash more milk.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • Optional: Sweetener to taste (e.g., maple syrup, honey, stevia)
  • Optional toppings: Fresh berries, sliced banana, extra peanut butter drizzle, chopped nuts, granola

Equipment

  • Medium-sized jar, bowl, or airtight container
  • Whisk
  • Spoon
  • Microwave (optional, for warming peanut butter)

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized jar, bowl, or airtight container, add the rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, chia seeds, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together thoroughly. This ensures the protein powder and chia seeds are evenly distributed throughout the oats.

  2. Pour in the unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred milk) and add the peanut butter. If you're using a natural peanut butter, it might be quite thick; you can gently warm it for a few seconds in the microwave to make it easier to stir. If you desire a sweeter breakfast, add your chosen sweetener at this stage as well.

  3. Stir all the ingredients together until everything is well combined. Make sure there are no dry pockets of oats or protein powder and that the peanut butter is mostly incorporated. Break up any clumps of peanut butter. The mixture will be quite liquidy at this point, which is exactly what you want.
  4. Secure the lid on your jar or cover your container tightly. Place it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but ideally overnight. This allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken into a creamy, pudding-like consistency.
  5. In the morning, give the overnight oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, you can stir in a splash more milk until it reaches your desired consistency. Add your favorite optional toppings like fresh berries for a touch of tartness, sliced banana for sweetness and texture, a drizzle of extra peanut butter for indulgence, or a sprinkle of crunchy granola for added texture.
