Notes
Note 1 - Rolled Oats
You can use steel cut, but you may need to adjust the amount of liquid. Note 2 - Greek yogurt and milk
You can adjust the quantity between the two depending on how thick you want it. You can also substitute for dairy-free and plant-based versions. Note 3 - Milk This may need to be adjusted depending on your protein powder and yogurt type. You want it runny when first made - but still see the oats. This will make it soft and creamy once stored. Nutrition information based off cows milk. Alternatives can be used. Note 4 - Mini chocolate chips
Mini chips are recommended as you get the bite of chocolate each mouthful. You could also break up larger chips or chocolate block. Nutrition information based off cows milk. Alternatives can be used. Storing
Store for up to 4-5 days. When ready to eat, give it a good stir. Reheating
Reheat in the microwave on 1 minute intervals until heated through (approx. 2-3 minutes depending on how thick they are).
