Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, chia seeds, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and peanut butter powder. Stir thoroughly to ensure an even mix.

- Portion and refrigerate: Divide the mixture between two 8 oz containers or half-pint mason jars with lids. Seal and refrigerate overnight, or for up to five days to allow the oats to soften and flavors to meld.

Notes
