- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon finely shredded carrot
- 2 teaspoons raisins
- 1 teaspoon unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup plain Greek-style yogurt
- ½ cup carrot juice; can also substitute with milk or non-dairy milk of choice, it just won’t have as much “carrot” flavor
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- Optional: 1 tablespoon sweetener maple syrup, honey, stevia, sugar, or other sweetener of your choice
Instructions
- In a large jar (or a small bowl), stir together all of the ingredients. Taste it at this point and see whether or not you want to make it sweeter by adding the optional tablespoon of maple syrup or other sweetener of choice.
- This will depend on your tastebuds, but also on the type of protein powder you use (since some powders are much sweeter than others).
- Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for a few hours) so that the oats soften and absorb the liquid.
- Just before serving, stir in some milk to thin if desired. Garnish with optional toppings. Enjoy!
