Step 1: Blend the Ingredients
Add the almond milk, half of the banana, cocoa powder, protein powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
This ensures the chocolate flavor is evenly distributed.

Step 2: Combine with Oats
Place the rolled oats into a glass jar or a sealable food container.
Pour the blended mixture over the oats.
Stir well to make sure the oats are completely coated.

Step 3: Refrigerate Overnight
Seal the container with a lid and place it in the fridge.
Let the oats soak for at least 8 hours to absorb the flavors and soften.
This slow soaking makes the oats perfectly creamy.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
The next morning, give the oats a good stir.
Top with the remaining slices of banana for added freshness and sweetness.
Eat straight from the jar or transfer to a bowl if you prefer.
