Ingredients

1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 scoop protein powder vanilla or unflavored
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup shredded carrots
1/2 banana small, mashed
1/2 Tbsp maple syrup
1/2 cup milk of choice
1 Tbsp chopped pecans optional for topping
Homemade berry jam, plain Greek yogurt, homemade pecan butter, etc. optional for toppings

Instructions

Combine all ingredients (besides toppings) in a mason jar. Add the lid and shake vigorously until mixed well and ingredients are evenly distributed. Let sit in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.
The next day, remove from the fridge and add toppings if desired, i.e. chopped pecans, pecan butter, berries, homemade berry jam, granola, etc.
Enjoy cold immediately out of the fridge, or heat up in the microwave for about 1 minute (in a microwave safe dish).

Notes

I love Clean Simple Eats protein powder - I used their Simply Vanilla protein in this, but it would also be amazing with their Snickerdoodle flavor! My affiliate code is WELLNESSFORTHEWIN to save at cleansimpleeats.com.
