Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1-2 tsp sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • pinch salt
Optional Toppings
  • 1 tbsp chocolate chips
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 1 tsp Cocoa nibs

Equipment

  • 1 Jar or container with lid
  • 1 spoon

Method
 

  1. Add the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and salt to a jar or container.
    2. A pinch of salt helps enhance the chocolate flavor.
  2. Stir in the milk, Greek yogurt, sweetener, and vanilla extract.
  3. Mix well until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Stir before serving and add toppings if desired.
    6. If the oats are too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen them.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture—quick oats will result in a softer consistency.
