Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Base
Let’s get creamy—in a blender, toss in 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk, ½ sliced ripe banana, 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tbsp vanilla protein powder, ½ tbsp maple syrup, and ¼ tsp vanilla extract (I love that chocolate hum!). Blend ‘til smooth—rich and velvety (my kitchen’s buzzing with cocoa vibes!). It’s the flavorful kickoff—pure blend delight!
Step 2: Mix with Oats
Pour the mixture over ½ cup rolled oats in a sealable container or jar—stir well (my heart races for that soak!). Mix it up—oats drinking in the goodness (my kitchen smells like a treat!). It’s the hearty base—pure oat joy!
Step 3: Chill Overnight
Seal the container—pop it in the fridge for 8 hours (my anticipation’s building for morning!). Let it soak—pure magic chilling (my dreams are chocolatey!). It’s the creamy prep—pure overnight bliss!
Step 4: Stir and Top
Pull it from the fridge—stir well (that first taste is pure joy, and you made it happen!). Top with fresh banana slices—beautifully sweet (my heart races for that finish!). It’s coming together—pure flavor magic!
Step 5: Serve and Savor
Eat straight from the jar or pour into a bowl—enjoy within 24 hours for peak tastiness (my kitchen’s a breakfast dream!). Dig in—pure creamy joy!
