A quick and easy overnight oats recipe combining chocolate protein powder, cocoa, and Greek yogurt for a creamy, indulgent, and healthy breakfast that keeps you full and satisfied.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (45g) rolled oats (old-fashioned oats recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 1 scoop (about 25g) chocolate protein powder
  • ¾ cup (180ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy milk)
  • ¼ cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey (natural sweetener, adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional toppings: sliced banana, chopped nuts, cacao nibs, or berries

Instructions

  1. Combine dry ingredients: In your jar or bowl, add ½ cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional), and a pinch of salt. Stir to mix evenly.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in ¾ cup milk of choice, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly to avoid clumps and ensure protein powder is fully incorporated.
  3. Check consistency: Ensure oats are fully coated and mixture is a bit loose. Add more milk if too thick or more yogurt/oats if too thin.
  4. Seal and refrigerate: Cover the jar or container and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  5. Serve and top: Stir oats well in the morning. Add a splash of milk if too thick. Top with sliced bananas, nuts, cacao nibs, or berries. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
  6. Troubleshooting tip: If oats taste chalky, whisk protein powder with a little milk before adding oats next time for a smoother mix.

Notes

Use rolled oats for best texture; instant oats get mushy. Mix protein powder with milk before adding oats to avoid chalkiness. Greek yogurt adds creaminess and tang. Adjust sweetness to taste. Store in airtight containers up to 3 days. For vegan option, use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free yogurt.
