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.
