Chocolate and Raspberry Overnight Oats
Enjoy this protein-packed breakfast that feels indulgent yet is loaded with nutrition. Just five minutes of prep the night before, and you'll have a chocolatey, fruity breakfast waiting for you in the morning!
Ingredients
- 40 g Rolled Oats
- 100 g Frozen Raspberries
- 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1 scoop Chocolate Whey Protein Powder
- 90 ml Semi-Skimmed Milk (choose your choice of milk)
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
- Start with the oats: In a jar or container, add 40g of rolled oats. These complex carbs provide the energy to keep you going throughout the morning.
- Add the dry ingredients: Stir in 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 scoop of chocolate whey protein. This is where your protein and rich chocolate flavour come from.
- Pour in the milk: Add 90ml of semi-skimmed milk to create a creamy consistency as the oats soak overnight.
- Season with salt: A pinch of salt enhances all the flavours
- Mix well: Stir everything together until the ingredients are fully combined, and the protein powder is evenly mixed.
- Top with raspberries: Lastly, add the frozen raspberries on top. As they thaw overnight, they'll release their natural juices, adding a deliciously sweet and tart flavour to your oats.
- Refrigerate: Pop the jar in the fridge and let it sit for at least 6 hours or overnight. When you wake up, the oats will be soft, the flavours will have melded together, and the raspberries will be perfectly juicy.
Notes
How to Serve:
In the morning, give your oats a quick stir, and they’re ready to eat! For an extra touch, sprinkle on some seeds like chia or flax for more texture and nutrition.Make It Your Own:
- For a dairy-free version: Use a plant-based protein powder and swap semi-skimmed milk for almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Add more fibre: Stir in chia seeds or ground flaxseeds to boost the fibre content.
- Try different fruits: Not a fan of raspberries? Swap them for strawberries, blueberries, or bananas.
