Ingredients
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder or chocolate protein powder
1 tbsp chocolate chips
2 tsp chia seeds
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk of choice
1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
1/2 cup yogurt or mashed banana
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
Instructions
Place the rolled oats, cocoa powder, salt, and chia seeds into a mason jar.
Add the milk and maple syrup and optional yogurt.
Seal the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to incorporate ingredients.
Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
Stir in an extra tablespoon of milk if the consistency is too thick before serving.
Alternatively, heat in a microwave-safe bowl for 60 to 90 seconds for a warm breakfast.
Notes
Substitute maple syrup with mashed dates or stevia for a lower-glycemic option. Use coconut milk or almond milk for a creamy, dairy-free base. Frozen berries make a great topping and help thin the mixture if it thickens too much.
