Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 + ¼ cup plant based milk
  • 1 scoop protein powder approx 1 cup
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or sweetener optional
  • 1 tbsp nut butter
  • 1 tbsp chia seed
  • ½ tsp cinnamon optional

Instructions
 

  • Using a large container or large mason jar, combine all ingredients and mix well. The mixture will look slightly soupy + wet.**
  • Place in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 3 hours.
  • When ready to eat, remove the lid and mix the oats. Top with your desired topping. I personally like fresh fruit and peanut butter.

Notes

**Make sure your oats are fully submerged before they soak overnight. If your protein powder is on the drier side, you may need extra milk. Start with 2 tbsp of milk and continue to add if you need more. 
Storage: These overnight oats will last up to 4 days in the fridge.
Time saving hack: Make these oats in the beginning of the week for the perfect meal prep!
