Prep and cook time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 120 ml plant-based milk
  • 3 tbsp soy yoghourt
  • ½ banana
  • ½ scoop (15g) Essablend Choco-spice protein
  • 1.5 tsp chia seeds
  • ½ cup (45g) oats

To Garnish:

  • Sliced banana
  • Almond flakes
  • Peanut butter (optional)

Method:

  1. Begin by selecting a container or a mason jar with a lid to make your overnight oats. This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled, making it perfect for meal prepping or serving a family.
  2. In a bowl mash the banana and pour the plant-based milk of your choice into the container. Next, add the soy yoghurt for a creamy texture. 
  3. The secret ingredient that sets this overnight oats recipe apart is the Essablend Choco-spice protein. Simply add half a scoop (15g) to the mix and stir well. 
  4. Stir in the chia seeds and let the mixture sit for a minute to ensure they are well distributed.
  5. Add half a cup (45g) of oats to the mixture and stir everything together until it's well combined. 
  6. Refrigerate Overnight: Pour the mixture into the container and seal it with a lid and place it in the refrigerator. This allows the oats to become tender and absorb all the delicious flavors, creating a delightful breakfast experience.
  7. Garnish to Perfection: In the morning, take your overnight oats out of the fridge and give them a good stir. If you find the oats are too thick, you can add a splash of extra plant-based milk to reach your desired consistency. Top it  with sliced banana, almond flakes, and if you're feeling indulgent, a drizzle of peanut butter. These toppings not only add extra flavour and texture but also provide additional nutrients.

Enjoy!
