- Old Fashioned Oats: I used old fashioned oats for this recipe. I found old fashioned oats work much better than quick oats, as they hold up really well overnight.
- Plant-Based Vanilla Protein Powder – of all the protein powders in the world, this vanilla protein powder is my absolute favorite! It’s simple, has just 4 ingredients, and tastes amazing in oats or smoothies. It’s not chalky and contains 15g of plant protein to keep you going throughout the day!
- Vanilla Extract: it’s super important to use real pure vanilla extract, and not artificial baking vanilla flavor. This real all natural vanilla is a fantastic ingredient to give this recipe an #extra boost.
- Agave Syrup: I really like using this raw organic agave syrup because it’s a sustainable sweetener, plus it’s an inexpensive natural sweetener so I always keep a few of these bottles in my pantry.
- Ground Flaxseeds: I always add a scoop in my oatmeal for a little extra nutritional punch! This flaxseed meal has a wonderful nutty flavor too. Flaxseeds have a ton of amazing health benefits, so add a scoop to breakfasts, lunches, or smoothies!
- Almond Milk – plain and unsweetened! The higher the fat content, the creamier the milk will be.
- Rainbow Sprinkles – because how fun are they?!
