Overnight Protein Oats – “Proats”

Lately I have been LOVING my Overnight Protein Oats as my mid-morning snack!  I have been playing round with them for a while now and I think I have finally perfected the recipe to my liking and thought I would share my love with the world!

Overnight Protein Oats

56g Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (or about 1/2 cup)
2/3 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
1 scoop (21g) Sun Warrior Vanilla Protein Powder (or protein powder of choice)
5g of Chia Seeds (about 1/2 tbsp)
1/2 – 1 tsp of cinnamon (I like lots!)
Splash of Vanilla extract
1 Tbsp of cocoa powder (optional – I like to make it chocolately sometimes!)

Put all ingredients into a bowl (or sometimes a small jar) and mix very well.  Cover and set in the fridge overnight.  In the morning top it with some of your favorite toppings!

My favorite toppings are:

Natural Almond Butter
Natural Peanut Butter
1/2 banana cut up
Warmed apple and cinnamon
Blueberries, raspberries or cherries
sprinkle of homemade granola
Sugar Free Syrup

So SIMPLE and so good for you!  No excuses not to have a healthy breakfast or snack in my case!  Prep the night before it takes literally 5 MINUTES!! and you have a yummy summer breakfast!  Plus it is so portable since you eat it cold!
