Equipment
- Mason jar
- Measuring cups and spoons
- mixing spoon/spatula
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup rolled oats
- ⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ⅓ cup coconut flavored Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder I used Clean Simple Eats Brownie Batter
- ½ tbsp mini chocolate chips
- ½ tsp cocoa powder
- ½ tbsp sliced almonds
- ½ tsp almond or coconut extract optional
Instructions
- In a mason jar, add the almond milk and then protein powder. Tighten the lid on the jar and shake it a bit so the protein powder combines with the milk.
- Remove the lid and add oats, yogurt, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, sliced almonds, chocolate chips, and extract.
- Close the lid on the jar and shake to combine. If your jar is small and there isn’t room to shake the ingredients together, use a spoon or small rubber spatula to stir and combine. You want the oats well covered.
- Place your jar in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. Stir before eating and enjoy! Note: I'll add another ⅓-½ cup of cold milk before eating. It makes them super creamy.

Notes
These can be eaten hot or cold. To serve warm, heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals until warm throughout.
I like to add about ½ cup more milk when I eat them in the morning. Makes them super creamy and good consistency!
