Instructions:

1. In a bowl or jar, combine the oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, protein powder, almond milk, mashed banana, cinnamon, and maple syrup (if using). Stir well.

2. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the oats absorb the liquid and thicken.

3. In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they’re too thick, add a splash of milk. Then, layer the chocolate oats and yogurt in a glass or bowl. Top with banana slices, dark chocolate chips, and a drizzle of almond butter.

Tips & Notes

• Adjust the consistency – If your oats are too thick in the morning, just add more milk or yogurt and stir.

• For extra protein – Add Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt, or mix in an extra half scoop of protein powder.

• Make it vegan – Use plant-based protein powder and dairy-free yogurt.

• No chia seeds? – Skip them or swap for ground flaxseeds.

Substitutions & Variations

• Swap the banana – Use unsweetened applesauce or blended dates instead.

• Different nut butters – Try peanut butter, cashew butter, or tahini.

• Add crunch – Sprinkle some granola or crushed nuts on top.

• Change the protein flavor – Vanilla, caramel, or peanut butter protein powder all work well.
