Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

1 scoop chocolate protein powder (or any protein powder you prefer)

2 tablespoons chia seeds

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

Sliced banana or berries for topping

A sprinkle of nuts or seeds for added crunch (optional)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, chia seeds, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt.

    Whisk the mixture until all ingredients are well-combined and the cocoa powder has fully dissolved.

      Divide the oat mixture evenly into mason jars or airtight containers. Seal them tightly with lids.

        Refrigerate the jars overnight (or for at least 4 hours) to allow the oats to soak up the liquid and thicken.

          In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of almond milk to reach your desired consistency.

            Top with sliced banana or berries and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for extra texture.

              Enjoy straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl!
