cookies and cream overnight oats____________________________________________My sweetener of choice is half a banana, for extra carbs, potassium, and micronutrients. You can omit this or use maple syrup, brown sugar, honey, or agave.
Ingredients
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 banana, mashed
- 1 scoop vanilla or cookies and cream protein of choice
- 2-4 tbsp milk of choice
- toppings: berries, nuts, nut butter, honey (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl or directly in a plastic or glass storage container, combine all ingredients except the toppings and stir thoroughly until incorporated. I find that I like adding a bit of almond milk in my mix to create a creamier texture, and for me this requires about 2 tablespoons to achieve. You can use up to 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) as desired, or add none at all, if you wish.
- Cover and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours, but preferably closer to 12. When ready to serve, remove, divide into two portions (or leave as one, as I'd do) and top with any choice goodies. I usually do blueberries, peanut or almond butter, and a drizzle of clover honey.
