High Protein Coffee Overnight Oats
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup cooled coffee or cold brew
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 4 tbsp protein powder of choice
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
- Optional to make them ‘mocha’ flavored: 2 to 3 teaspoons cacao powder (or sub unsweetened cocoa powder)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add yogurt, milk, coffee (or cold brew), pure maple syrup (see notes below), and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined. Stir in oats, protein powder, chia seeds, and cacao powder until well combined. Fold in 1 heaping tablespoon of the mini chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 4 hours or overnight. Once ready to serve, divide between two 12 ounce mason jars (or just scoop and serve into bowls as desired.)
- Serve with an extra dollop of yogurt on top and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. These are also delicious with a drizzle or spoonful of almond butter for some healthy fats and extra protein.
