Chocolate Protein Overnight Oats

Chef's Notes

Adding lemon juice neutralizes the phytic acid, making it more digestible. For more details, check out my post on → Overnight Oats Benefits. If you want to do that, soak them for at least 12 hours. Ideally, you’d use slightly warm milk to soak the oats, let them soak at room temperature (or slightly warmer than room temperature, like a laundry room or in a sunny spot) for 4 hours. I’m too lazy to heat up the milk and use cold milk, put the bowl with the prepared oats on a cooling rack and put that over a burner that’s still warm after making dinner. After 4 hours, move the oats to the refrigerator for the remaining 8+ hours. Don’t forget to move them into the fridge after 4 hours, or else they might spoil and/or develop something undesirable.
If you’re gluten-free, make sure to use gluten-free oats and gluten-free protein powder (most are).
If you’re vegan, make sure to use plant-based milk and vegan protein powder.
