    I wanted to keep this recipe lower in fat (for the macros I wanted to hit when I made them) but you could certainly add some raw coconut butter to make these Chocolate Coconut Overnight Protein Oats even more indulgent!

    Ingredients

    • ⅓ cup chocolate whey protein powder 31g
    • ¼ cup rolled oats 24g
    • 1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut 7.5g
    • 1 teaspoon cacao nibs 2g
    • ⅓ cup filtered water 3oz or 80ml

    Instructions
     

    • Put all dry ingredients in the jar.
    • Add water, and stir.
    • Cover, and let sit overnight (or at least 4 hours) in the refrigerator.
    • Stir and enjoy!

    Notes

    A note about substitutions: You could substitute any kind of protein powder you like (for dairy-free/vegan versions), but you may need more water with other protein powders. Also, if you use quick-cooking steel cut oats, reduce the amount to 3 tablespoons (for this amount of liquid and these macros).

      How did it come? Sometimes flavorings have alcohol in them, and when uncooked it can taste funny. But I love that you are making the recipe your own!

      Hi,

      I didn't have any cocnut flake so I substituted imitation coconut flavoring, a few less calories. I'll let you know how it tastes.
