½ cup certified gluten-free quick oats

1 tsp chia seeds

1 tbsp cocoa powder

½ scoop chocolate protein powder

5 drops alcohol-free peppermint flavor (Simply Organic or Watkins Clear)

½ cup unsweetened almond milk

2–3 tbsp white chocolate chips

½ tsp coconut oil

1 crushed candy cane (alcohol-free)

1. Add oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, and protein powder to a jar or bowl.

2. Pour in almond milk and peppermint flavor, then stir until combined.

3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

4. Once set, microwave white chocolate chips and coconut oil until melted.
