Overnight Chocolate Oats

06/09/20 | Delicious Eats, fitness, In the Kitchen, Recipe Ideas

When I first shared my Brownie Batter Overnight Protein Oatmeal I had been making it for about a month and was gloating about 30 mornings of this delicious protein packed breakfast. Well, now four years later I have made it more times than I can count and during lockdown I took the advice of a coworker and really got into meal prep.  My boyfriend and I have been making double batches of this (so 8 instead of 4) and starting our day with a good macro balanced meal – the correct of carbs, fat, and protein for us .

Here in the UK I have had to swap out a few of the ingredient brands – Tesco brand instead of Fage for the Greek Yogurt,  grocery store brand instead of Quaker for the oats, and Alpro for the unsweetned almond milk instead of Almond Breeze but all in all, it is virtually the same!

And while I still find it difficult  getting  100 grams per day of protein I have switched out this original protein where one scoop was 120 calories and 24 grams of protein with Diet Whey protein from PHD and while the calories / protein ratio is the same this one has a better flavor in my opinion for these chocolate overnight oats:

So yes, a pretty finished product with a great background, but I always find with recipes, even ones labeled “easy” that visuals are helpful so I have gone step by step on and photographed the easy steps needed to make these chocolate overnight oats:

One delicious serving of my brownie batter protein oatmeal, prepared as the recipe instructs and with the brands I have pictured, contains 270 calories comprised of 5.2 grams of fat, 22 grams of cabs, and 34 grams of protein, a real 1-2-3 punch to get your morning started.  (And that does not include the chocolate shavings on the top, those are just for the picture 🙂 )

    Super find with the whey. I like the protein powder that I use after my exercise class but always cringe a bit regarding the calories and I do not find that I feel like it fills me up.

    This seems like it will stick to my ribs a bit better and hold me from the “hungries” a bit longer than my normal protein shake. Did you find that is is more satisfying?

    Looks like it would be great for a dessert to. Never ending process for me to get more protein in my diet. I can only eat so many Greek yogurts, hard boiled eggs and protein smoothies. This will make for a nice change and have some good consistency too it.

    Thanks for the tip.

    I’m gonna have to give us a try looks like a great way to get a massive amount of protein. I’m always trying to get my protein in my diet. Good call.
