Notes
- Think overnight oats are slimy? If you love a creamier texture (versus chewy) blend the base before topping them with chocolate. It's a texture game-changer!
- Make sure to use coconut milk from a can and not anything watered down. Drain the water from the can too. You want the thick, white creamy part only.
- Make sure to let the mixture sit for five minutes and remix. This helps the chia seeds distribute better and not stick to the bottom.
- These oats are chewy and thick, if you like a smoother blend, blend the oats ingredients before portioning them.
- These high-protein overnight oats makes one large serving or two very small, snack-size servings.
- Because vegan protein powder absorbs so much liquid, you can't use protein powder in place of collagen. However, if you were to try it, opt for whey protein powder as it doesn't abrosb as much.
- You can store the oats in the fridge for 2-3 days in a sealed container.
