Ingredients
- Quick Oats
- Vanilla Protein Powder: I used Garden of Life 100% Whey Protein
- Chia Seeds
- Cinnamon
- Instant Coffee
- Cocoa Powder
- Milk of Choice
- Maple Syrup
- Vanilla Extract
For the topping:
- Low Fat Cream Cheese
- Non- Fat Greek Yogurt, Plain

See recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
- Add your dry ingredients (quick oats, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, cinnamon, instant coffee, and cocoa powder) to a meal prep friendly container. Give it a stir with a small whisk until everything is well combined.
- Next, add in your milk of choice followed by your maple syrup and vanilla extract. Using the whisk, mix again thoroughly until everything is well combined. Make sure to check the sides of your container to make sure that the chia seeds are not stuck onto the sides.
- Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight (preferably).
- Once your overnight oats are in the fridge, make your topping by combining your greek yogurt, cream cheese, and vanilla bean paste in a small bowl. Whisk until everything is well combined and the cream cheese is evenly distributed into the mixture.
- Spoon over the yogurt and cream cheese mixture on top of your overnight oats mixture when you are ready to serve in the morning, top with sifted cocoa powder to garnish. Enjoy!
Hint: If you are running low on time and don’t mind the topping getting mixed throughout your oats, you can spoon your yogurt and cream cheese mixture on top of the overnight oats along with your sifted cocoa powder before they firm up. Place in the fridge overnight so you can grab and go without additional work in the morning.
