Overnight Oats (updated again)

If you guys follow my stories then you know that I LOVE overnight oats.  I typically prep a batch of three servings every Sunday.  I work in the office 4 days a week and bring the overnight oats for three mornings, and the usually have greek yogurt with granola & fruit one of the mornings.  I've tried. LOT of different combinations when making my overnight oats, which you can probably tell since this is the third blog post about them.  My current go to recipe was adapted from Ambitious Kitchen (High Protein Peanut Butter Cup Overnight Oats), whom I absolutely love.  I will say that you'll have to adjust how much almond milk you add depending on which protein powder you use.  Some of them absorb the liquid easier, and some are the opposite. 

Ingredients:

• 3/4 c Old Fashioned Oats
• 1 scoop (or serving) of preferred protein powder
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 3 tbsp. chia seeds
• 1 cup greek yogurt
• 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 3 tbsp almond butter
• 3 tsp coconut oil
• 6 tsp dark chocolate

Directions:

• Mix the first 4 ingredients into a bowl and set aside.
• In a different bowl mix the almond milk, greek yogurt and maple syrup.  I like to use a whisk to ensure that it is thoroughly mixed.
• Then add the bowl of dry ingredients to the wet.  Mix well with a wooden spoon to ensure that there are no chunks.
• Pour into three different containers that can be closed.
• Next add 1 tbsp of almond butter to each container.
• To make the chocolate shell:  Microwave the dark chocolate and the coconut oil for about 1 minute.  Mix well and then drizzle on top of each container.
• Put the three containers into the freezer for 10 minutes.  This will harden the chocolate.
• Once the ten minutes is up, store in the fridge and it will be ready in the morning!

I like to top mine with sliced banana the next morning.  Yum!  Let me know if you try it,
