Protein Powder Overnight Oats
Description
Protein Powder Overnight Oats start by combining vegan chocolate protein powder with almond milk, coconut milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, and rolled oats. The mixture is stirred vigorously and left to sit briefly before stirring again to ensure even hydration. Then, it is distributed into jars to chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours, allowing the oats and chia seeds to absorb liquids and thicken.
This method produces a creamy, nutrient-dense oatmeal that can be personalized with toppings like whipped cream or additional drizzles. The coconut milk adds richness and thickness, especially when full-fat canned coconut milk is used. Maintaining whole chia seeds enhances texture as they absorb moisture more effectively than ground seeds.
Any protein powder flavor can be used, with vanilla or chocolate recommended for ease. The oats can be eaten plain or garnished according to preference, making this recipe flexible for different tastes and textures.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup vegan chocolate protein powder
- 2.5 cup almond milk
- 4 tbs chia seeds
- ⅓ cup coconut milk
- 3 tbs maple syrup
- ¾ rolled oats
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all the ingredients.
- Mix extremely well.
- Let sit for 5 minutes and mix again.
- Portion into jars and add whichever flavor you choose from above.
- Pop in the fridge for four hours.
- Top with whipped cream and the extra drizzle and enjoy!
Notes
- Use full-fat canned coconut milk drained of water to achieve thick texture in the oats.
- Whole chia seeds work best; ground seeds absorb less effectively.
- Protein powder flavor is flexible; chocolate and vanilla are convenient choices.
- Prepare the base overnight oats first; add whipped cream and toppings just before serving for best texture.
