Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

Oat Base

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 1/2 banana mashed
• 1 scoop vanilla whey isolate
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate Yogurt Topping

• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

Method

 

Make the Oats

1. Add oats, almond milk, chia seeds, mashed banana, maple syrup, vanilla and salt to a jar or bowl.
2. Stir to combine.
3. Add protein powder last and mix well to avoid clumping.
4. Let sit for 5–10 minutes, then stir again to help the chia seeds evenly distribute and thicken.
5. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 4 hours.

Make the Chocolate Yogurt

1. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt and chocolate mix.
2. Add a small splash of almond milk if needed to thin.
3. Taste and add maple syrup if you want it sweeter.

Assemble

1. Remove oats from the fridge.
2. Stir, then top with chocolate yogurt mixture.
3. Serve cold.

Notes

Cooking Notes

• Adding protein powder last helps prevent clumping and keeps the texture smooth.

• Stirring again after 5–10 minutes is key for thick, creamy oats instead of a watery texture.

• If oats are too thick in the morning, add a splash of almond milk and stir.

• You can adjust sweetness depending on how ripe your banana is.

I use Naked Nutrition Vanilla Naked Whey ISO for this recipe.

It blends really smoothly into oats and yogurt without clumping or giving that chalky texture a lot of protein powders have.

It’s also made with minimal ingredients, so you’re getting a clean source of protein without added fillers, gums or artificial sweeteners. That makes it easier on digestion and lets the chocolate and banana flavors actually come through. If you are looking to try their protein, use code ALISSA15 to save on your orders.

Chocolate Pudding Mix

I use Simply Delish sugar-free chocolate pudding mix for the topping. (Use code ALISSA10)

It gives you that rich chocolate flavor and thicker texture without needing added sugar or heavy ingredients.

Compared to traditional pudding mixes, it’s typically:

• lower in sugar and calories
• made without artificial dyes
• free from aspartame and artificial sweeteners
• uses simpler ingredients that are easier to digest

Gut Health Notes

Oats and chia seeds provide soluble fiber that supports digestion and gut microbiome health.

Bananas contain prebiotics that help feed beneficial gut bacteria.

Balanced protein, fiber, and healthy carbs help support blood sugar stability and prevent energy crashes.

Greek yogurt adds protein and beneficial bacteria to support gut health.
