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 water 3oz or 80ml

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.
