Ingredients
Overnight Oats Base
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder or cookies and cream protein powder
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 crushed Oreo cookies plus more for topping
Chocolate Topping
- 1/3 Lily’s white chocolate cookies and cream bar
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a bowl or mason jar, mix the oats, chia seeds, protein powder, crushed Oreo cookies, and almond milk until well combined.
- Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate the mixture overnight or for at least 8 hours to allow the oats and chia seeds to soften and absorb the liquid.
- Melt Chocolate: When ready to serve, microwave the white chocolate bar and coconut oil in a small bowl in 10-second increments, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Assemble and Serve: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chilled oats. Let it sit for a minute to harden slightly, then top with additional crushed Oreo cookies and enjoy.
Notes
- Use a mason jar with a lid for easy mixing and storage.
- Adjust sweetness by choosing flavored protein powder or adding a sweetener if desired.
- For a dairy-free option, ensure the protein powder is plant-based and use almond milk.
- Can be eaten cold straight from the fridge or warmed up if preferred.
- Additional toppings like fresh berries or nuts can be added for extra texture and flavor.
