Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2-3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy) Based on preference
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2-3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips And more for topping
  • ΒΌ cup yogurt (optional)
  • 1-2 tablespoons cocoa powder (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, milk, maple syrup, yogurt, and mini chocolate chips. Stir well to combine, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
  2. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight. This step is crucial as it allows the oats and chia seeds to absorb the liquid and flavors, resulting in a creamy texture.
  3. Once ready to eat, give the mixture a good stir. Serve with your choice of toppings such as more chocolate chips, fresh berries, or a dollop of nut butter for an added flavor boost.

Notes

For variations, consider adding nut butter or flavored yogurt, and try swapping the chocolate protein powder for vanilla. This recipe is ideal for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
