Ingredients
Base:
- 1½ cups rolled oats not quick oats
- 2 tbsp ground flax meal
- 2 cups boiling water
Flavor 1: Chocolate Raspberry Crunch
- 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder plant-based
- 1 tsp cacao powder
- 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup raspberries fresh or frozen
- 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
- 2 tbsp non-dairy yogurt optional, adds creaminess
Flavor 2: Banana Yogurt Peanut

Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats and flax meal. Pour in boiling water and mix well. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes to thicken and soften. Stir occasionally.
- Once the oats have absorbed the water and cooled to room temperature, divide the mixture evenly into three jars or containers with lids.
Add the flavorings:
- Jar 1 (Chocolate Raspberry Crunch): Stir in chocolate protein powder, cacao, chocolate chips, raspberries, and sunflower seeds.
- Jar 2 (Banana Yogurt Peanut): Stir in yogurt and peanut butter/powder, and top with walnuts and banana slices.
- Jar 3 (Vanilla Apricot Walnut): Mix in vanilla protein powder, and top with chopped apricots, and walnuts.
- Add a splash of water or plant-based milk to adjust the texture to your liking or to mix in the protein powders. This varies based on the brands you are using!
- Seal each jar with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. They’ll be ready to grab and go in the morning!
