Instructions

In a 12–16 oz jar or airtight container, combine oats, chia seeds, cocoa powder, protein powder, salt, and extract.
Pour in cashew milk and stir until fully mixed. The texture should be thick but well combined.
Seal and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to let the oats soak and chia seeds expand.
Before eating, give the oats a stir to smooth out the texture and redistribute ingredients.
Top with your favorites like powdered peanut butter, strawberries, or cocoa nibs and enjoy cold or warm.
