Ingredients you will need:

You only need a handful of simple ingredients to make this overnight oats recipe. I bet you already have everything in your kitchen right now!

Rolled Oats: A fantastic source of fiber and heart-healthy goodness and the main ingredient to any overnight oats! These soak up the liquid overnight, giving you the perfect creamy texture.

Almond Milk – for soaking the oats and creating the perfect consistency. Feel free to use your favorite dairy or non-dairy milk like oat milk, coconut milk or soy milk.

Cashew Butter: Offers various health benefits due to its rich nutrient profile. It’s a good source of healthy fats, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium, zinc, iron, and copper, as well as antioxidants. These nutrients contribute to heart health, bone health, and weight management.

Chia Or Hemp Seeds: Omega-3-rich seeds that add a nutritional punch to this protein shake also adding extra fiber and gives these oats a thicker consistency.

Protein Powder: Add your fave as it majorly boosts the protein content for the ultimate macros (protein, fats, carbs) balance.

Greek Yogurt: Creamy and protein-packed, great for a healthy gut. Adds more creaminess to the smoothie along with protein, and a little tang to balance the sweetness. Plain Greek yogurt is the highest in protein and lowest in sugar.

Vanilla & Almond Extract: These infuse the oats with warm, sweet vanilla ‘cakey’ flavors. You will think you are having dessert for breakfast!

Sprinkles: For that quintessential birthday cake charm, their nutritional value is all about adding happiness!

Whipped Coconut Cream: Some may say this is not a necessity but I beg to differ. What birthday cake is complete without a luxurious, creamy finish?
