Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 scoops chocolate protein powder
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

1. 1In a large mixing bowl whisk the protein powder and cocoa powder into the almond milk until completely smooth and free of dry pockets.
2. 2Stir in the oats, chia seeds, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla until everything is evenly distributed and the mixture looks thick and chocolatey.
3. 3Fold in half of the dark chocolate chips so they are scattered throughout without sinking to the bottom.
4. 4Divide the mixture evenly among four meal-prep jars or containers, tapping gently to remove air pockets.
5. 5Top each jar with the remaining chocolate chips and a portion of the raspberries, pressing the fruit lightly into the surface.
6. 6Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight so the oats soften and the chia gels into a pudding-like texture.
7. 7In the morning give each jar a quick stir; if the mixture is too thick, loosen with a splash of extra almond milk.
8. 8Enjoy chilled straight from the jar as a high-protein dessert or sweet breakfast that already hits muscle-building macros.
9. 9The jars keep well for up to four days, making them ideal for weekly dessert meal prep.
10. 10For extra decadence warm one jar briefly in the microwave and top with an extra spoon of yogurt before serving.
