Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats 
  • 1/2 cup almond milk or any other milk – cashew, hemp or oat
  • 1/4 cup thick Greek-style yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds    
  • 1 scoop protein or collagen peptides powder   
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (to taste, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder        
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips 

Toppings Optional

  • Banana (or any other fruit) slices
  • Dollop of whipped coconut cream – recipe below in notes
  • Chopped nuts
  • Peanut butter drizzle 

Instructions

  • In a mason jar or airtight container, mix rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder, cocoa powder, vanilla, honey if using, milk and yogurt. Stir until fully combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips. 
    Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
    In the morning, taste test for consistency and add a few more splashes of milk or a touch more honey or maple syrup, if you like. Enjoy hot or cold with your favorite toppings.
    Notes:  Through my many overnight oats adventures, I have found the best ratio to be a 1:1 ratio of oats-to-milk, with the addition of half as much yogurt (or 1/2 cup more milk).

Notes

Homemade Whipped Coconut Cream
Add even more nutrition and healthy qualities to many other dishes with nutrient-dense fluffy, whipped coconut cream.
It’s a dairy-free dessert topping that is not overly sweet and made with simple ingredients. This whipped coconut cream is just as thick, luscious, and creamy as dairy-full whipped cream and ideal for topping cakes, tarts, puddings, hot cocoa, and more.
Made with just 3 ingredients in 5 minutes of active time. Be sure to chill the canned coconut cream or milk the day before you need it.
Packed with healthy fats, tons of other good stuff and amazing flavour to help support a healthy, fit body.
