Chocolate and Raspberry Protein Overnight Oats are a rich, fruity, high-protein breakfast you can make the night before. With creamy oats, tart raspberries, and a deep cocoa flavour, this recipe is perfect for fuelling your morning without the rush.
Mix the dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, cocoa powder, chocolate whey protein, and salt. Stir until evenly combined.
Add the milk: Pour in the semi-skimmed milk and mix well until all the oats are coated.
Add raspberries: Layer the frozen raspberries on top, or stir them through for an even fruit distribution.
Season with salt: A pinch of salt enhances all the flavours
Leave overnight: Transfer the mixture to a container with a lid and chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight to soften the oats and blend the flavours.
Serve: In the morning, the oats will be soft, creamy, and infused with the rich cocoa and tart raspberry flavours that have melded together overnight. Enjoy straight from the fridge or let it sit for 5–10 minutes for a slightly softer, warmer texture.
Notes
How to Serve:
In the morning, give your oats a quick stir, and they're ready to eat! For an extra touch, sprinkle on some seeds like chia or flax for more texture and nutrition.
Make It Your Own:
For a dairy-free version: Use a plant-based protein powder and swap semi-skimmed milk for almond, soy, or oat milk.
Add more fibre: Stir in chia seeds or ground flaxseeds to boost the fibre content.
Try different fruits: Not a fan of raspberries? Swap them for strawberries, blueberries, or bananas.
