This is part 3 of the Overnight Oat series and can easily be prepped and expanded for more servings.
Ingredients
1/2 Cup Oats
1/2 Cup milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk)
1 scoop of Chocolate Protein Powder (optional)
1 Tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 Tbsp Chia Seeds
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Tbsp Cacao Nibs (or chocolate chips)
Preparation
Put all the ingredients in an airtight container. Mix well.
You can add protein powder if you want, just know that if you were to add 2 scoops instead of 1, you might have to add some more liquid to get the right consistency. Just know that the mixture should be kind of thick like cake/brownie batter, but it will firm up a bit more overnight when the chia seeds and oats absorb the liquid.
After everything is mixed well, seal the container and store it in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, you can top it with whatever you would like. Some topping options are to add some almond/peanut butter, more chocolate chips, some of your favorite nuts, etc. Enjoy!!
