Black Forest Overnight Oats Recipe | Lupus Canada
Welcome to the Lupus Canada Recipe Corner!
With back to school upon us, mornings can feel a little more chaotic as we get back into a routine. These Black Forest Overnight Oats are an easy make-ahead breakfast that can help take one thing off your morning to-do list.
Made with rolled oats, chocolate protein powder, chia seeds and cherries, each serving packs approximately 40 grams of protein and 13 grams of fibre. The recipe is also easy to adapt based on your preferences. If you are avoiding dairy, choose your preferred dairy-free milk and a suitable alternative protein powder.
Best of all, you can prepare your overnight oats the night before and have breakfast ready to go when you wake up. Jamey and her family usually make nine jars for the week!
Simple, filling and convenient, these Black Forest Overnight Oats are a great option for busy school, work or weekday mornings.
