High-Protein Rainbow Cookie Overnight Oats
Recipe by Megan Gaul
Rainbow cookies are the greatest. Soft, impossibly moist, almond sponge with dark chocolate and just a hint of raspberry tang. Following my trend of putting every flavor in overnight-oats form, I just had to write up this recipe. If you want to have a decadent-tasting breakfast that is portion-controlled and fits your calorie-target, this is for you!
I personally enjoy overnight oats most when they are still chilled from the refrigerator. It's a sweet and refreshing experience! But if you're not a fan of cold oats, simply warm it up un the morning before adding the toppings. I recommend 30-second intervals in your microwave, until the oatmeal is your desired temperature.
I made sure to include some protein in this recipe, because folks often find that oatmeal on its own is not particularly filling. I recommend unflavored protein powder (such as Quest Multi-Purpose Protein Powder). If you're going to use a flavored protein powder, I would go with vanilla, and I would also recommend reducing the sugar to 1 tsp, since you'll already have the sweetness from the protein powder.

Instructions:
To Prep:
--
1. Locate a container with a secure lid (mason jar, takeout soup container, Tupperware with screw-cap).
2. Add the almond milk, almond extract, vanilla extract, sugar, and kosher salt to container, close lid, and shake to combine.
3. Open container, add the oats and protein powder and shake once more until it's evenly combined. Give it an extra whisk with a fork, if you're still finding it's clumpy.
4. Close tightly and refrigerate overnight.
The next morning:
--
1. Transfer oats to bowl. (This recipe is delicious eaten cold. If you'd like to warm it instead, microwave 30 seconds at a time until it reaches your desired temperature).

3. Enjoy!
