High-Protein Carrot Cake Overnight Oats

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Protein oats (Bob's Red Mill protein oats recommended)
• 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder (approximately 30g)
• 1 tbsp Chia seeds
• 0.25 cup Carrots (finely shredded)
• 0.5 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 Nutmeg (pinch)
• 0.75 cup Milk of choice (dairy or plant-based)
• 0.25 cup Greek yogurt (for topping; creates a cream cheese frosting vibe)
• 1 tbsp Walnuts (chopped, for garnish)

Steps

1. 1

   In a jar or airtight container, combine the protein oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, shredded carrots, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

2. 2

   Pour in the milk of your choice and stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and no protein powder clumps remain.

3. 3

   Seal the container and place it in the refrigerator to soak for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the oats to soften and the mixture to thicken.

4. 4

   Before serving, top the oats with a layer of Greek yogurt to mimic cream cheese frosting.

5. 5

   Garnish with chopped walnuts or additional shredded carrots if desired.

Notes

For the best texture, use a high-quality protein powder you enjoy the taste of. If the oats are too thick in the morning, add a splash of extra milk to loosen them up.
