Overnight Oats Base
- 1 1/3 cup rolled oats (128 grams)
- 12 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 scoops Cellucor Whipped Vanilla Whey Protein (66 grams)
- 2 small carrots, grated (80 grams)
- 1/3 cup raisins (53 grams)
- 3/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp all spice
Optional Toppings

Instructions
- Prepare protein mixture: Whisk the whey protein powder into the unsweetened vanilla almond milk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps, creating a creamy protein base.
- Combine ingredients: Add the rolled oats, grated carrots, raisins, cinnamon, and allspice to the protein milk mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Portion and refrigerate: Divide the mixture evenly into 4 resealable jars or containers. Seal them properly and place them in the refrigerator overnight to allow the oats to soak and soften.
- Optional warming & serving: Before serving, optionally microwave each jar for about 30 seconds to slightly warm the oats. Stir well. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, chopped pecans, and additional grated carrot if desired for added texture and flavor.

- Adjust protein powder quantity based on your dietary needs or preferred protein intake.
- This recipe is easily customizable: swap raisins for other dried fruits like cranberries or chopped dates.
- Almond milk can be replaced with any plant-based or dairy milk according to preference.
