⅔ cup almond milkor dairy milk or other plant based milk
½scoopchocolate protein powder (15 g)
2teaspoonmaple syrupor honey
¼teaspoonvanilla extract
¼cup 2% Greek yogurtor cottage cheese (see note below)
1-2Oreo(s)or cookies and cream cookie (or more than 1)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, chocolate protein powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt. Stir well.
Whether you're using 1 Oreo for a lighter cookies and cream flavor or 2 Oreos (more carbs), you'll want to chop half for the oats mix and crush half to save for later to crumble over the top.
Mix the chopped cookie in with the rolled oats mixture.
Put a lid on the bowl or transfer the mix to a mason jar or overnight oats jar. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
When you go to eat your cookies and cream oats, sprinkle the crushed Oreo over the top. Dig in and enjoy!
Notes
To substitute cottage cheese for the Greek yogurt, blend the cottage cheese in a blender with 1 tablespoon of the milk until it's a yogurt like consistency ( small tiny little lumps is ok). Use as directed in the recipe.
For a stronger Oreo flavor without the cookie or calories, you can swap the chocolate protein powder for cookies and cream protein powder. You could also totally leave out the cookies to lower the carbs in this recipe and just use cookie protein powder.
We made this as a single serving recipe, so to make 2 servings just double the recipe. Likewise, if you want to make it for 5 days of breakfasts, x everything by 5 and put into mason jars for your week.
If you're sprinkling crushed cookies over the oats, do it when you go to eat them otherwise they'll get soggy.
We used Whole Food cookies and cream cookies, you can use your favorite brand.
The nutrition included one Oreo cookie, adjust the calories and such if you add more than one.
