How about some protein? Overnight Oats 2.0
Want to make your chocolate overnight oats even better? Then high-protein overnight oats might be just right for you! At Vetain, we definitely love protein.
Adding protein powder to your oats comes with several benefits:
Even more chocolatey flavor: Using a chocolate protein powder intensifies the taste. And let’s be honest – can there ever be too much chocolate?
Extra creamy: The right protein powder gives your chocolate overnight oats the perfect texture – incredibly creamy, without yogurt or similar ingredients.
High in protein: Protein powder significantly boosts the protein content of your oats – it doesn’t get much easier than that.
How do you make overnight oats with protein?
Simply add 30 g of protein powder and an extra 70 ml of plant-based milk to your oats and stir well until the protein powder dissolves, or mix a quick protein shake and add it to the oats. Nobody likes clumps in their breakfast!

Chocolate Overnight Oats Variations
Chocolate alone isn’t enough for you? No problem. Overnight oats are not only quick to prepare but also incredibly versatile. Try these delicious variations:
Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats: Simply add 1 tbsp of peanut butter to your oats and top with peanut pieces, cocoa nibs and extra peanut butter if you can’t get enough.
Chocolate Coconut Overnight Oats: For a coconut flavor, use coconut milk instead of regular plant-based milk and add shredded coconut.
Extra tip: top your oats with crunchy coconut chips.Chocolate Raspberry Overnight Oats: Prepare your overnight oats as usual. Heat fresh or frozen raspberries in a saucepan, bring to a boil and mash them with a fork. Pour the sauce over your oats. Fresh and fruity! Optionally garnish with raspberries and chocolate shavings.
The Banana Question
Some love it, others prefer to keep their distance: the banana. Since opinions differ on “chocolate overnight oats with or without banana,” we’ve made this recipe adaptable for everyone:
Overnight oats with banana:
Chocolate & banana – a classic combo! The banana adds natural sweetness and extra creaminess, and the two flavors pair perfectly. Simply follow the recipe as written.
Chocolate overnight oats without banana:
If you really don’t like bananas or simply don’t have any at home, you can easily replace them with 2 tbsp applesauce and 1 tsp nut butter (preferably cashew butter). This keeps your breakfast sweet and wonderfully creamy even without banana.
