I love how quick it is to prepare, taking only a few minutes before chilling overnight.
I enjoy the deep chocolate flavor paired with a subtle peanut butter note from the protein powder.
I also like how it keeps me full and energized throughout the morning.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1/2 cup rolled oats (organic) 3/4 cup soy milk 1 scoop HealthyGirl x Wellious Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein 1 tsp cacao powder 1 tsp maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract Pinch salt
Directions
I blend the soy milk, protein powder, cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
I add the oats to a small jar or bowl with a lid, then pour the blended mixture over them.
I stir everything together until well combined.
I cover and refrigerate it overnight so the oats can soften and absorb the flavors.
In the morning, I enjoy it cold or heat it in the microwave if I want something warm.
I like adding toppings before serving.
Servings and timing
Servings: 1 Prep time: 5 minutes Chill time: 6–8 hours Total time: about 6–8 hours
Variations
I like adding sliced bananas or berries for natural sweetness.
I sometimes mix in chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
I can swap soy milk with almond milk, oat milk, or dairy milk.
For a richer taste, I add a spoon of peanut butter or chocolate chips.
storage/reheating
I store the oats in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
I eat it cold straight from the fridge or reheat it in the microwave for about 30–60 seconds.
If it thickens too much, I stir in a splash of milk before eating.
FAQs
Can I use a different protein powder?
Yes, I can use any chocolate or vanilla protein powder I prefer.
Do I have to blend the mixture?
No, I can whisk everything together instead, but blending makes it smoother.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, I already use plant-based milk, so I just make sure the protein powder is vegan.
What toppings work best?
I like adding nuts, seeds, fruit, or a drizzle of peanut butter.
Can I eat it without chilling overnight?
I prefer letting it sit overnight, but I can let it rest for at least 2–3 hours if I am short on time.
