- Pure Maple Syrup
- Unsweetened Almond Milk
- Vanilla Extract
How to make Chocolate Overnight Oats:
Combine Ingredients: Add oats, chia seeds, protein powder, cocoa powder and peanut butter powder to a bowl then mix to combine. Stir in maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla extract until well combined.

Enjoy these chocolate protein overnight oats plain, or top with fresh berries, sliced bananas, cacao nibs or coconut flakes.

- Peanut Butter Powder: Could be left out or substitute natural creamy peanut butter or almond butter.
