Servings 4
Ingredients
Blended base
- 1 cup sprouted old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 3 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Pumpkin spice latte add-ins
- 1/2 cup plain pumpkin puree
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice plus more if needed
- 1-2 shots espresso brewed and completely cooled
- or about 1/2 cup strong cold brew
- On-plan sweetener to taste
Optional creamy topping
- Nonfat Greek yogurt
- Sweetener
- Splash of vanilla
- Pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
- or - Canned or Fresh Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Brew the espresso and allow it to cool completely.
- Add the oats, milk, Greek yogurt, protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, espresso and salt to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste. You’re looking for **coffee first, pumpkin second, with warm spice in the background**. If the coffee flavor is too mild, add another 1/2 to 1 shot espresso. Add sweetener if desired.
- Divide evenly among **4 jars**. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours.
- The next morning, stir and taste again. Adjust the sweetness if necessary.
- If desired, mix a little nonfat Greek yogurt with sweetener and vanilla and spoon it over each jar. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice. Or top with canned or fresh whipped cream if desired. I use the reduced fat spray can for mine.
