Servings: 1 serving
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese, blended fat-free, low-fat, or full-fat
- 1 tablespoon chocolate protein powder
- 1 ¼ teaspoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup, sugar-free maple syrup, or sweetener of choice
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds optional
- 1/4 cup fresh berries optional
Add the cottage cheese to a food processor or blender. Then, thoroughly blend until smooth. It is important to whip the cottage cheese to get the perfect creamy consistency. If you don’t whip the cottage cheese and add it as is, you need to add about two extra tablespoons of milk to these overnight oats.
Add the rolled oats to an airtight jar or container. Then, add the unsweetened vanilla almond milk, blended cottage cheese, chocolate protein powder, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, maple syrup, salt, and chia seeds.
Thoroughly mix all the ingredients.
Place the lid on the jar and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning when ready to serve these overnight oats, mix them, add any optional toppings such as fresh berries, and enjoy!
- Meal Prep: This recipe is great for meal prep! You can double, triple, or quadruple this recipe to make more servings of these overnight oats. Assemble them in individual airtight jars or containers.
- Storage: Store these overnight oats in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Blend The Cottage Cheese: Don’t forget to blend the cottage cheese before adding it to the jar. Blended cottage cheese adds a wonderful creamy texture to these oats.
- Milk To Use: I like to use unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Some other options are oat milk, cashew milk, soy milk, 1% milk, non-fat milk, or full-fat milk.
