- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon honey (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt

- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and add more honey if you prefer it sweeter.
- Refrigerate Overnight: Divide the mixture into a mason jar or airtight container. Seal and refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and become creamy.
