Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
- 1/2 Banana, sliced
- 1/2 tbsp Maple Syrup
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
- 1 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 tbsp Vanilla Protein Powder
Instructions
- Slice the banana: Slice half a banana into thin pieces to prepare for blending and optional topping.
- Combine ingredients in blender: Add the almond milk, sliced banana, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a blender bowl.

- Add oats and mix: Place the rolled oats in a glass jar or food container, then pour the blended liquid over them. Stir well to evenly coat the oats.
- Refrigerate overnight: Cover the jar or container and leave it to soak in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the oats to absorb the flavors and soften.

- You can adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing the maple syrup according to preference.
- For vegan options, ensure the protein powder used is plant-based.
