Overnight Oats

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup Old Fashioned Oats (ensure they're not instant for the best texture)

  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

  • 1 to 2 scoops Vanilla Protein Powder (approx. 25g in total, adjust based on your protein needs)

  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (for an extra burst of vanilla flavor)

  • 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon (for a hint of warmth)

  • Toppings (Optional): Fresh Berries, Sliced Almonds, Almond Butter (choose your favorites or mix and match)

Instructions:

  • Combine the Base Ingredients:

    • In a mason jar or any small, sealable container, mix the old-fashioned oats, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, vanilla protein powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined to allow the flavors to meld together.

  • Let the Mixture Soak:

    • Seal the container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 1 to 2 hours. This soaking time allows the oats to soften and the mixture to thicken, resulting in a creamy texture.

  • Adjust Consistency in the Morning:

    • Upon removing from the fridge, give the oats a good stir. The mixture will have thickened significantly due to the absorption of liquid by the oats and protein powder. If you find the oats too thick, feel free to add a splash more almond milk or water until you reach your desired consistency.

  • Add Toppings and Serve:

    • Before serving, garnish your oats with a selection of toppings. Berries and sliced almonds add a lovely texture contrast, while a dollop of almond butter introduces a creamy, nutty element that pairs wonderfully with the vanilla flavor of the oats.
