BANANA ALMOND OVERNIGHT PROTEIN OATS

I love overnight oats and this recipe has been a huge hit with all of my taste testers.  It’s creamy and satisfying with a naturally sweet nutty banana flavour. Plus it’s packed with fibre, healthy fats, and plant-based protein, too!

Ingredients for one serving:

  • 1/3 cup gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 Tbsp unsweetened powdered almond butter

  • 1 Tbsp Nuzest Clean Lean Smooth Vanilla protein powder

  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds and/or shelled hemp seeds

  • 1 tsp Plant Burst or Organika maca powder (optional)

  • 1 cup dairy-free milk (I used 3/4 cup almond milk & 1/4 cup canned organic full-fat coconut milk)

  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed

  • 1/4 tsp pure almond extract, adjusted to taste

  • Lakanto sugar-free monk fruit sweetener, or sweetener of choice, adjusted to taste (optional)

  • optional toppings: brûléed banana, berries, coconut chips, granola, bee pollen, chopped almonds and/or nut butter, or toppings as desired

Note: For a veggie-loaded porridge, try adding 1/4 cup frozen cauliflower rice (pictured below)! When I do this, I usually reduce the milk just a touch, to just over 3/4 cup.

Below I topped my oats with brûléed banana (sliced banana sprinkled with coconut sugar and broiled for a couple minutes), Healthy Crunch “Monkey Business” coconut chips, granola, bee pollen, chopped raw almonds, and almond butter that I melted with a touch of coconut oil.
