03 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
04 - 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
05 - 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

# Directions:
01 - Combine rolled oats, almond milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, cocoa powder, hazelnut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly until completely smooth and well incorporated.
02 - Divide the mixture evenly between two jars or airtight containers, ensuring each has approximately the same amount.
03 - Cover containers tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow oats to soften and flavors to meld properly.

# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- Tastes like eating a fancy chocolate truffle for breakfast but keeps you full for hours
- Meal prep friendly and actually gets better after sitting overnight
02 -
- The texture will seem too liquid when you first mix it but the oats absorb everything overnight
- Protein powder brands vary wildly in sweetness, taste before adding more sweetener
03 -
- Mix the cocoa powder with a tablespoon of the milk first to avoid lumps
- Warm your hazelnut butter slightly if it has separated and is hard to stir
