1scoopvanilla protein powder, divided(30 g) vegan if desired, but must be flavored/sweet
1tbspnut/seed butter(16 g) you could do chia seeds as well but increase the water
1/4cupany yogurt, df if desired(60 g) I use 2% greek yogurt, dairy-free if desired
2tbsp(nut) milk(30 g) increase or decrease to desired thickness
cocoa powder to dust
Instructions
In a bowl or container, mix instant coffee with water, let it cool slightly.
Add to this cup the oats, 2/3 of the protein and nut butter, mix, seal and refrigerate at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
When ready to eat (or the night before) make the cream: In another bowl add yogurt, rest of the protein and enough milk to achieve the desired thickness. For me this is about 2 tbsp and it's creamy like mascarpone!
Top your coffee oats with the cream and dust with cocoa powder. Dig in!
Notes
I prefer to make 2 servings out of this recipe and eat it as a dessert or snack with a nice protein boost. But if making breakfast out of this you probably want to eat it as 1 serving, which will be about 420 calories and a whopping 34g of protein! Perfect post-workout breakfast.
