Made with rolled oats, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and espresso, this make-ahead meal offers a creamy texture with a delightful coffee kick, keeping you energized throughout the day.

Ingredients

Base

  • 1 cup Rolled Oats (substitute with thick rolled oats for better texture in overnight preparations)
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk (can be replaced with any milk of choice for a different flavor profile)
  • 1 cup Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Greek Yogurt (regular yogurt can be used for a similar result)

Flavor

  • 1 shot Espresso (substitute with strong brewed coffee or instant espresso if needed)
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein (any vanilla protein powder works well)
  • 2 tablespoons Caramel Sauce (opt for low-sugar alternatives or make your own)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (use pure vanilla for best taste)

Texture & Thickness

  • 2 tablespoons Chia Seeds (can be omitted or increased for thicker oats)
  • 1 pinch Salt (a small amount enhances sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Mix Protein and Milk: In a bowl, whisk together the unsweetened vanilla almond milk and vanilla whey protein until smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps for a creamy base.
  2. Add Yogurt and Vanilla Extract: Mix in the Dannon Light & Fit vanilla Greek yogurt and vanilla extract into the protein mixture. Stir until everything is perfectly blended for a rich, flavorful taste.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly mixed to create a uniform mixture.
  4. Prepare Serving Dish: Drizzle caramel sauce inside a serving dish or bowl, allowing it to swirl for a visually appealing presentation and flavor infusion.
  5. Assemble Oats: Add in your oat mixture over the caramel drizzle in the serving dish, distributing evenly.
  6. Top with Espresso: Pour your shot of espresso over the top of the oat mixture right before serving to maintain the coffee’s aroma and warmth.

Notes

  • For thicker oats, increase chia seeds or use thick rolled oats.
  • Substitute espresso with strong brewed coffee or instant espresso if preferred.
  • Use low-sugar caramel sauce or homemade caramel to reduce added sugars.
  • Overnight oats can be assembled the night before and refrigerated for convenience.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying caramel sauce or adding sweetener if needed.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
