Equipment

Ingredients

2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1 cup almond milk
½ cup large flake oats
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 scoop Vega Proteins + Greens Protein Powder
pinch of salt
¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Chocolate Crackle

¼ cup dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon dark cocoa powder
1 tablespoon coconut oil melted

Toppings

2 tablespoons chopped almonds
2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

In a medium bowl mix together the oats, chia seeds, brown sugar, coconut, and protein powder. Add a pinch of salt.
In a small bowl whisk together the milk and yogurt.
Add the milk mix to the oat mix and stir. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Portion the mixture into 2 serving containers, or leave as is if not topping.
Melt the coconut oil for about 30 seconds in the microwave. Add the chocolate chips. Stir. Microwave for about 20 seconds. Stir until the chocolate chips have fully melted and combined with the coconut oil. Add the cocoa powder. Whisk well.
Spoon half of the chocolate mix over each of the oats.
Sprinkle over the toppings (optional).
Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Smash open the chocolate layer with a spoon and eat everything together.

Notes

The toppings are optional. Nutritional information includes optional toppings.

Use your favorite protein powder. I used a Proteins and Green protein powder which is why my oats are greenish in these photos.

To store overnight oats, you can store the whole recipe in one bowl, or divide into two bowls or jars for a grab and go breakfast.
