Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk you prefer)

1 cup rolled oats (choose gluten-free if necessary)

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

¼ cup plain protein powder

1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (or agave syrup or honey)

½ teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla flavor (Simply Organic Alcohol-Free Vanilla or Watkins Clear Vanilla Flavor)

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a medium jar or bowl.

2. Stir until smooth and all powder is dissolved.

3. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 2 hours.

4. Stir again before serving.

5. Top with fruit, nuts, or granola if desired.

6. Enjoy cold or microwave for a warm option.

Notes

If using chocolate protein powder, skip the cocoa powder and add extra vanilla flavor.

If protein powder is sweetened, reduce the maple syrup to taste.

For thicker oats, reduce the milk slightly; for thinner oats, add extra milk before serving.

Microwave in short bursts to avoid boiling over when reheating.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
